Back to Main South Kent School Map
Named in honor of Samuel Slater Bartlett, whose vision and dedication was fundamental in the founding of South Kent School a century ago. This building stands as a symbol of his lasting impact on the School and our community.
Samuel Bartlett’s commitment to education and character development laid the foundation for South Kent’s mission. As one of South Kent School’s founders, his vision of providing a rigorous and nurturing environment for young men to learn, grow, succeed, and thrive after they’ve left the Hillside, has guided generations of students and faculty.
The legacy of the Bartlett family continued with Sam’s son, George Hodges Bartlett, who followed in his father’s footsteps to become the third Headmaster of our school. Affectionately known as “Mr. B,” George epitomized the values of South Kent- Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance, and Directness of Purpose.
