This beloved former French teacher and Admissions Director retired from Shipley in 2009 after 32 years of serving in various teaching and administrative roles. Having served on the Boards of Church Farm School and Benchmark School, Mr. Coleman is back at Shipley as a member of the Board of Trustees. “I am happy to be ‘back’ at Shipley and to get to know Michael Turner and his administrative team,” he says. “I am glad to see that the School continues to thrive.” In addition to serving on Shipley’s Board, Mr. Coleman enjoys discussing French fiction with his book club and traveling with his wife, Marcia.
