Admissions Staff

Scott D. Wade, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

Scott came to Breck from the Spence School in New York City, where he was the Director of Outreach and Public Purpose. He enjoys meeting prospective families and introducing them to Breck. “This school has such an inspiring culture of innovation among its faculty,” he says, “which is truly hard to find in such a well-established institution. And it offers so many opportunities for students to become leaders both inside and outside the classroom. I’m delighted to be here.” In addition to his Admissions duties, he also teaches Upper School bioethics. When he's not at school, he’s likely to be spending time outdoors with his wife and two children, exercising and enjoying one of our 10,000 lakes. 

Carrie Lennox, Associate Director of Admissions and Financial Aid; Grades 5-8 Admissions Coordinator

Carrie has been at Breck since 1997 and previously taught seventh grade history. Something she loves about Breck is that students get the opportunity to explore new ideas and activities all the time and that it’s “cool to do well. Students want to learn and continually ask why, and we are constantly evolving and improving to meet their needs.” In her free time, Carrie likes riding her bike, trying new restaurants, exploring new US cities in the summer and spending time with family and friends. 

Debi Becker, Assistant Director of Admissions; Preschool through Grade 4 Admissions Coordinator

Debi joined the staff at Breck in 1997 and previously was a teacher at The Blake School, Torah Academy and the Minneapolis public schools. She loves working with children in a 1:1 setting, talking with parents, and sharing her passion for Breck. Debi says she’s proud of Breck’s commitment to academic excellence and its openness to continue to learn, grow, and be better. When she’s not at school, Debi loves spending time with family, exercising and travel.
