We are saddened to announce the passing of Center School’s Co-Founder, Kathy Hunt, who passed away on Friday, July 5, 2024. Kathy was a pioneer in raising awareness about students with learning disabilities. She had a vision to build a community that supported these students and their needs. As a result, Center School opened its doors in 1989. For over 35 years, Kathy's vision, and the creation of Center School, have positively impacted the success of thousands of students and their families. Kathy received numerous awards for her contributions to the LD community, including the Visionary Service Award from the Association of Delaware Valley Independent Schools and the Janet L. Hoops Award from The Pennsylvania Branch of the International Dyslexia Association |

Kathy was very active in the community. She was a member of many charitable organizations, including Willow Grove Rotary, Willow Grove Community Services, Willow Grove Charities, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Walker Lodge #306.
We thank Kathy for her vision and foresight. Her legacy lives on in the thousands of students and families who have experienced the mission of Center School and its incredible influence on their lives, including her son, Quince, who is a founding alumnus and current Facilities and Technology Manager at Center School.
Her service will be held at John J. Bryers Funeral Home on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m.
