FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

6/11/2025

What a jam packed last few days of celebrations we have had acknowledging the tremendous growth and accomplishments of our students.
  • We gathered on Saturday for a special brunch honoring our senior graduates and heard from each of their families. There was not a dry eye in the house as we heard about challenges, growth, and the overwhelming sense of community found at Stanbridge. 
  • On Monday morning, we gathered to honor our eighth graders in their promotion ceremony. We had a combined Middle School award ceremony, as well, so the entire middle school was present to celebrate the accomplishments of our eighth graders. Thank you to our awesome middle school speakers Jonas, Aanya, and Cyrus. 
  • We held our high school awards ceremony Monday afternoon and it is always a joy to see how our students rise to support one another, cheering each other on and acknowledging the hard work of their peers. 
  • Yesterday morning, we celebrated the accomplishments of our Elementary students and promoted our 5th grade class to Middle School.
  • We closed out the school year yesterday with our Class of 2025 High School Senior graduation. It is always a highlight of the year to hear the reflections of our seniors as they embark on the next stage of their journey to adulthood. Each senior has the opportunity to write and deliver their own speech. It is clear that each of these young adults made huge strides in their quest toward independence during high school. They forged a supportive community and safety net for each other that will continue long after graduation. 
Our deepest gratitude goes out to you, our parent community, for entrusting us to be a partner in your children’s education and development. We thank you for your partnership, your kindness and your amazing children! Have a wonderful summer and Stay Strong Bulldogs!

Julie Smith
Head of School
