Phil Currier Lecture Series
The Phil Currier Lecture Series was founded in memory of Phil Currier, former head of Columbus Academy's Upper School, whose zest for life overshadowed his untimely death in 1995.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Phil Currier Lecture Series is to bring to Columbus Academy speakers whose lives and experiences exhibit self-challenge, provoke thought and are agents of positive change. Shared with our community, these qualities will stimulate dialogue, challenge our students to "Quest for the Best" and strengthen and enrich Columbus Academy.
