Spencer Heydt
Class of 1997
I attended Gulf Stream School for 10 years — from Montessori through eighth grade.
Current Career
I live in Nantucket, where I am involved in real estate, but I spend the majority of my winters in the Palm Beach area to get out of the New England winters.
Family
I am m the middle of three girls and both of my sisters attended GSS as well — Heather was Class of 1992, and Christian was Class of 1998. I am not married and I do not have any children of my own, but both of my sisters each have two kids and I love being an aunt to the four of them!
Also, public speaking is such an important life-long skill to have, and the tradition of eighth-grade speeches with Miss Gibb is where I learned the art of public speaking.
Who was your favorite teacher(s) and/or what was your favorite subject(s)?
I can’t name just one, but some of my favorites were Mr. Winans (Fifth Grade), Ms. Pemberton (Art), Miss Gibb (English) and the Handlers (Sports).
On cold days, Miss Gibb would sometimes surprise classes and deliver cups of hot cocoa in the middle of class. It was such a treat!
Field Day was always my favorite day of the entire school year (White Rules, Blue Drools). I still love some friendly athletic competition.

How did your years at GSS benefit you in all of your post-graduate experiences and help make you who you are today?
Looking back, the current value system I live by was instilled in me during my formative years at GSS. From respect to good manners to discipline, all of these were taught not only in the classroom but also outside of the classroom, whether it be playing sports, eating lunch in the pavilion or just walking in the halls.

Any special experiences, memories or quotes?
I loved being a greeter in the morning at the Lower School. It was so enjoyable walking the “Wee Ones,” as Miss Gibb would refer to them, to their classes. They looked up to you with such admiration the second you opened their car door. It was such a nice way to start the day!
