Winter 2020 Tiger Talk by Student President Dylan McCormick '20
Tiger Talks, a tradition celebrated on both campuses, serve as a time when the community gathers to listen to a student or faculty member speak about one of our core values: empathy, leadership, service, and respect. Once the Tiger Talk is finished, members of our community are encouraged to reflect together on what was discussed.
Town Hall is a student run forum where club meetings, student events, athletic games, theatre productions, and other major announcements are made by students and adults. We often hold competitions, musical performances, and celebrations during this time. The meeting is run by the Student Body President and all members of our community are encouraged to participate.
Upper School students have created a variety of clubs. Students are encouraged to propose and form new clubs throughout the school year.
