Miles Katzen ’16 graduated from the University of Delaware in 2020 with a degree in Human Services. During college, he worked as a Senior Counselor and Program Director at Camp Skylemar in Naples, Maine. After graduating from the University of Delaware, Miles returned to Wilmington Friends School to serve as an Associate Teacher and Assistant lacrosse coach for three years while pursuing his Master's in School Counseling from Villanova University. He currently serves as a Health and Wellness educator, coach, and advisor at The Haverford School. Reflecting on what he enjoys most about his work, Miles states, “I love that each day I am able to make a positive impact on someone else’s life. I am motivated to be the role model and person of support for our next generation of learners, whom I was so lucky to have during my time as a student at WFS.”

His advice to the Class of 2025? “Express your gratitude and keep doors open! WFS is a special place full of caring, dedicated, and impactful people. I never imagined returning to WFS to work as a teacher, but this opportunity allowed me to rekindle relationships with many people who positively impacted my life. I was so fortunate to be able to thank these people for all they did for me, and I was glad to show them how they have helped me get to where I currently am. Take the time now to write that thoughtful thank you note to a teacher, to send a message to a coach, or to express your gratitude in person to your advisor. Let the people in your life at WFS know how much you appreciate them - these relationships will help you long after your days in Alapocas!”
