Joanne Lembo '91
Joanne Lembo ‘91 found her place at Millbrook and has kept the school’s mission close to her heart throughout her career in education. She remembers stellar teachers, engaging course offerings, and one-of-a-kind extracurriculars, but Joanne especially recalls thriving in the environment of service and inclusion during her high school years. She carries those values forward in her work for many years as director of student activities at Phillips Exeter Academy, where she oversees many aspects of student life, a portfolio that has grown to include DEI and equity initiatives on campus.
Through connections made while earning a BFA at Bennington, Joanne learned of a career opportunity in student activities at the University of New Hampshire. Her work in this role, bolstered by her boarding school experience at Millbrook led to a job as associate director of student activities at Phillips Exeter while pursuing a graduate degree from Antioch New England in organization and management.

Joanne’s work at Exeter is rooted in her desire to “make things better” and in always aspiring to “be a better listener.” At Millbrook, Joanne thrived when feeling known and needed. Like so many Millbrook graduates, Joanne has chosen to live Non Sibi Sed Cunctis and bring this motto to life for those under her guidance and care.
