The conference, chaired by Associate Head of School Justin Brandon, was organized by administrators from independent schools across the state and featured national thought leaders.

Led by Lisa Horton, the workshop explored how faculty and students use dialogue to develop respect, understanding and connection in the classroom.

Students in all three divisions showed their school spirit by dressing up for special themed days leading to a fall-season pep rally, Fall Community Event and Homecoming. 

“These students have provided a great deal of positive impact on our community,” Head of Upper School Aaron Sundstrom said.

The showcase brought fifth- and sixth-graders and their families to home games for three fall-season girls’ sports, encouraging them to imagine what athletics might offer them in the future.

Students worked in small groups to learn about scientists from a variety of countries, personal circumstances and educational backgrounds and then presented their findings with a poster.

The series includes talks from nationally recognized keynote speakers Lynn Lyons and Traci Baxley.

The optional summer program lets new Ravens learn their way around campus, take sample classes and get to know other new students as they prepare for the first day of school.
