Founders Day Celebration | Friday, September 25
Join us at 8:30 a.m. in the Athletic Center for this new tradition, an opportunity to honor the visionaries who built our foundation and celebrate the bright future of our students and community. It launches our new school year as a community gathering for all PK-12 students, faculty, staff, families, alumni, trustees, and friends.
We warmly invite you to join us to hear student musical performances and remarks from the Head of School on the topic, “Great Things Are Yet to Come.” We will present Eric Katz ‘84 and Family with the School’s highest honor – The Founders Medal – for their three generations of leadership, service, and dedication. We will also recognize three new Trustees Emeriti for their collective four decades of leadership: Jim Lawson, Barbara O’Connor, and Paula Williamson-Reid. A reception will follow at 9:15 a.m.
