Farewell to Our Departing ASB Staff

Every year, the end of the school year brings with it a mix of pride and gratitude, and this year is no different. As we say goodbye to a group of staff who are moving on to new paths and places around the world, we want to take a moment to honor what they contributed and what they meant to this community.

"From teachers crafting lessons to the facilities crew, exhibitions, trips, performances, graduations, and everything in between, we took 975 students from first-day nerves all the way to cap and gown, and we did it together," shared Director Mark. "To those of you now leaving, whatever your role, your contribution mattered and was felt. The care you brought to your work, the relationships you built, and the effort you gave quietly and consistently shaped this school year in ways that will stay with our students long after they leave ASB. We wish you well on whatever comes next. You will be missed, remembered, and always welcome back."

We say farewell and best wishes to:

Ms. Jessica Berns, Mr. Noah Clarke, Mr. Adam Erickson, Ms. Rebekah Holbrook, Ms. Kristen MacConnell, Ms. Andrea Martinez, Ms. Samantha McGuinness (one year), Mr. Dante Meyer, Ms. Laia Monguillon, Mr. Richard Petersen, Ms. Amanda Sullivan, Ms. Elsa Vallbuena Miró, Mr. Marcelo Ventrice, Mr. Daniel Whitehair

A Special Farewell to Carmen

After many years keeping ASB looking its best, it's time to say a huge thank you and farewell to Carmen as she heads into a well-deserved retirement. So many of our alumni will remember her warm smile in the hallways. She has been a familiar and beloved face at this school for a long time.

Carmen, thank you for everything you have given to this community. We are so glad you will be staying in Barcelona, and we hope you will come back and visit us soon. ¡Hasta pronto, cariño!
