Partnership in School Work at Wentworth Academy
Col W M Hoge of Boonville Missouri has become associate superintendent at Wentworth Military Academy and an equal partner with Col Sandford Sellers in ownership of the academy’s personal property leases and private interests. The move strengthens school interests in Lexington and supports the institution’s future, bringing Hoge’s twelve years of teaching and recent work as Spector and Visitor of affiliated State University schools to the partnership. Reports suggest the collaboration promises renewed momentum for the new school year and broader educational aims.
