Emy Thomas sent greetings from her home in Christiansted, VI, and noted that she appreciates the school keeping in touch. Emy’s father, beloved Headmaster Phillip H. Thomas, Sr., was Mooreland’s second headmaster from 1941 until his death in 1949. Her mother, Katherine “Kitty” Thomas, a devoted Mooreland teacher, reluctantly agreed to serve as headmistress for one year following her husband’s death. Upon appointment of a new Headmaster, Frederick Burr, Kitty Thomas was named his assistant. She continued to serve the School for many years as an administrator and teacher and, following her retirement, as a champion of the school.
