The traditional ceremony was an opportunity to start the school year together, as the Early School’s first day on Monday meant all divisions were back in session at St. Margaret’s.
St. Margaret’s officially welcomed in a new school year on Monday, as the All-School Opening Ceremony joyfully brought together the entire student body for the first time.
 
The traditional ceremony was an opportunity to start the school year together, as the Early School’s first day on Monday meant all divisions were back in session at St. Margaret’s.
 
Monday’s ceremony featured readings, songs and moving remarks by Upper School senior and ASB President Elise Peffer and Head of School Jeneen Graham.
 
“I’m so grateful to be with all of you as we open the year together,” Dr. Graham said in her first All-School Opening Ceremony as Head of School. “Welcome back to those of you who are returning, and to our new community members, welcome to your new home. We are so grateful you are here!”
 
In total, St. Margaret’s has 205 new students and 30 new professional community members for the 2023-2024 school year. The school is once again fully enrolled, and Dr. Graham gave special mention to the Class of 2031 in its last year of Lower School, the Class of 2028 in its last year of Middle School, and the Class of 2024 starting its last year at St. Margaret’s in the Upper School.
 
Dr. Graham also outlined the three school-wide goals for St. Margaret’s this year, aligned with the school’s mission to educate the hearts and minds of young people for lives of learning, leadership and service.
 
  • Under learning, reclaiming the joy of learning by further engaging in experiential learning, play and cross-divisional connections.
  • Under leadership, energizing the entire community to engage in elements of human thriving, as the school works toward uplifting its priority to community health and wellness through the development of the St. Margaret’s Commons.
  • Under service, deepening St. Margaret’s commitment to serving the local community and the world. “We will instill a spirit of compassion and responsibility with the goal of changing the world one Tartan at a time,” Dr. Graham said.
