With just two weeks before April vacation, students are busier than ever!  Athletic tryouts and practices have begun and student athletes are thrilled to return to training and competition. Academics remain in full swing, with AP exams and SAT testing on the horizon, and many of our students are engaged in field trips, projects and post-high school planning. It is a time of great anticipation and excitement, and at times, stress and anxiety. We remain committed to supporting our boarding student population during this busy part of the school year and encourage you to check in regularly with your student, maintaining open communication with both them and the Residential Life Office.

We would like to express our continued appreciation to the dining commons staff. They have continued to cook a variety of dishes representative of our international students and their home countries- with great success! Thank you!

We continuously update our Residential Life web page, making it easier for you to find the information that you need. You will find titles in the menu that will lead you to printable and translatable PDFs regarding end-of-year events, travel information, testing schedules, and more.
