On Taipei American School’s 70th Anniversary, Sept. 26, 2019, the TAS Board of Directors unveiled the Upper School D-Block Building’s new name, which honors the current Head of School, Dr. Sharon DiBartolomeo Hennessey. Dr. Hennessey is the longest standing Head of School for TAS, serving the community for 14 years. Under her leadership, the school has undergone a lot of major changes, including the construction of the Solomon Wong Tech Cube, Liu Lim Arts Centers, and the D-Block. The unveiling was a surprise to Dr. Hennessy, as part of the 70th Anniversary celebration. Donors contributed a combined $1 million USD in Dr. Hennessy’s name in order to bestow upon her this naming opportunity.
