Advice for the Class of 2023

"Keep your head up and charge the mountain." ~ Mrs. Hadley

"Believe in yourself, dream, go beyond your comfort zone, learn from your mistakes, breathe, and retrieve, remember a little biology, and do not forget to let me know where your DNA code leads you. Best wishes, Class of 2023!" ~ Mrs. Suder

"Stay the course. Continue to develop, commit, and be all-in to your education, career, and family." ~ Mr. Fleming

Take on this next step of life with fervor, with the goal to learn what you love, and with the desire to love what you pursue. I can't wait to hear good things from and about each of you! Love and Blessings!" ~ Mrs. Schroeder

"Believe in yourself and follow your passions." ~ Mr. Lorentz

"Willa Cather claims that 'only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is [to be truthful].' My advice: make time for the arts in your lives—refine your own sense of truthfulness.

Favorite memories from the faculty and staff

Mrs. Hadley | Field trips to the Nature Center and Zoo, challenging one another on mathematical reasoning and thinking outside the box, working hard to meet the goals of all students. 

Mr. Fleming | My favorite memory was the senior retreat at Camp Higher Ground.

Mr. Lorentz | Watching the whole student section rush the field to celebrate together after winning the Country Day Cup!

Ms. O'Dell | I loved witnessing your thoughtful, kind and productive collaboration in class. You encourage one another, give constructive feedback and have fun.

Mr. Miller | Watching them embrace the struggles of going to High School during a pandemic and truly support and bond with each other. They have come out the other side of the experience as a family and you can see it in everything they do together.

Dr. Law | For my beloved B bell... some of my favorite teaching memories will end up involving you all.  The infamous desk-scooting echoing Weber's law on thresholds, your Freud shrine, and the class group photo sent taken on a Saturday night.

Mr. McEachern | Students diving headfirst into bean bag chairs for the best reading spots in the room.

Mrs. Smith | You all will forever be my first senior class. I was welcomed with open arms and it's been a joy and privilege to watch you all grow over the year and begin your college journey. Keep shining and thanks for everything!
