Convocation Marks the Start of the School Year

It’s official! With the ringing of the school bell at Convocation on Wednesday, August 31, the 2016-2017 school year was declared open. The ceremony on Childs Memorial Terrace began with the prefirst, first grade, and senior class walking down the hill hand in hand. Following the invocation, Headmaster Charlie Britton and student representatives from each division gave warm welcomes and shared words of wisdom with the student body. Later, a special welcome back was extended to senior Archer S. whose fight and determination serves as an inspiration to the entire community.
