The weather was almost summer-like as we welcomed back alumni, friends, and former faculty to Harley's Alumni Reunion on October 11 and 12. The weekend began on Friday night with a cocktail reception at, local restaurant, Good Luck. Saturday morning was full with a tour of the School and a preview of The Commons. Check out the blog below to learn more about this amazing building! Saturday evening we welcomed Ward J. Ghory, Ed.D., our new Head of School. He asked all of our guests to gather in a circle in the Wilson Gallery as he gave a School update, celebrated the Harley Hospice program's 10 year milestone, and asked our alumni and faculty to share a Harley memory. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for this fantastic weekend! 

 

Whether you are local or in town for a visit, we welcome alumni to stop at the School anytime. We are always available to give you a tour!
