Richard M. Stubbs Mathematics B.S. University of Massachusetts at Amherst

Quite familiar with boarding school life, Rick grew up at Milton Academy in Milton, Mass., where his father was a member of the Science Department and his mother worked in the library. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he joined the EHS faculty. He served as chair of mathematics from 1990 to 2002. Rick has worked with the baseball program since he arrived at EHS and was Episcopal’s boys’ varsity soccer coach for 14 years. He currently is head coach of varsity baseball, assistant coach of girls’ varsity soccer, and serves on the Hummel Dorm Team.

Rick lives on campus and enjoys golf and photography in his free time. He is also an avid reader, favoring mysteries, biographies, and recent history. He spent four summers volunteering at the John F. Kennedy Library archives in Boston, working on educational programs and with Robert Kennedy’s papers.

When describing the personal values that most influence his work at EHS, Rick reflected, “Robert Kennedy gave a speech in South Africa in 1966 about sending ‘tiny ripples of hope’ that, coming from all corners of the planet, rise up into a tidal wave of change for the human good. It is my goal, as a teacher, coach, or advisor, to try to provide a little ripple in a young person’s life that makes a positive difference.”
