An Education for a New Century of Leaders
In September of 2020, we opened the doors of our new Athletics & Wellness Center! This Center will serve students at every grade level for decades to come, and it will function as a space for the entire community to come together. Our Athletics, Wellness, and Physical Education programs are active and joyful, and they help to develop mission-critical skills such as teamwork, leadership and resilience. Our new facilities will match the caliber of our program.
