Having been born the daughter of a classicist and teacher of Renaissance drama—who actually spoke “in Shakespeare” more often than one would think possible–it was probably inevitable that Nora Tracy Phillips, with a richer-than-worked-for array of words in her head and a passion for things literary, would, herself, wind up a teacher.

With an English degree from Princeton, an unsatisfying paralegal experience, and a much more satisfying experience as the editorial assistant to the academic journal Shakespeare Quarterly (with an office inside the Folger Shakespeare Library) under her belt, Nora went on to teach English to 10th-12th grade students at McLean, Virginia’s The Madeira School. There, she delighted most in opportunities to bring literature studied to life for her students—driving them in a van to hear Ralph Ellison and Rita Dove read from their works and answer questions at the Library of Congress; creating a school-wide Shakespeare acting festival; organizing a field trip to NYC for all 11th grade students to watch (and then critically discuss) a Broadway revival of A Streetcar Named Desire.

It was with this background that when Nora, her husband Tim, and their then-children, Jonathan and Susannah, found themselves living in Wellesley, Nora quite quickly found her way to both the Wellesley Cultural Council and to Creative Arts and Sciences at the Hardy School. For 10 happy years, Nora went from school rep to Chair of the Townwide Creative Arts and Sciences Committee, working with WPS teachers and administrators to find impactful, academic, enrichment programming from the “outside world.” For the Wellesley Cultural Council, Nora has been involved with bringing programs in the arts and education to Wellesley to enrich the cultural lives of its citizens (in what little way it can) for years now.

Otherwise, Nora has been a career volunteer over most of the past 30 years—in Wellesley, working a variety of leadership positions in the public schools, as member and sometimes Chair of the Wellesley Cultural Council, on the Board of the Wellesley Education Foundation, teaching and serving as a Reader at St. Andrew’s Church, serving as a member of Town Meeting. Outside of Wellesley, Nora has volunteered as a tutor for low/no income students trying to pass the high school equivalency test in Roxbury, as the long time “Form Director” of her class at St. Paul’s School in Concord NH, and to help create alumni discussion panels for reunions at Princeton University.
