Dear Upper School Parents & Students,

I’m pleased to share that College Representatives will continue to visit our campus next week. Demonstrated interest is an important metric in the collegiate admissions process, so students should be sure to connect with representatives of interest when possible. 

I hope that everyone has a relaxing Fall Break, and I look forward to welcoming students back to campus on Tuesday. Go Griffins!

Warmly,
