June Greetings Husky Families,

Today we celebrated the enthusiastic, creative, and accomplished Class of 2025 as they completed their middle school careers. It was a chance to recognize ALL of our middle schoolers for surviving and thriving in a year unlike any other. Ashley N. said it best today when she quoted the Literary Magazine dedication, “We have overcome challenges and made the best of our circumstances to maintain a positive school environment and solid Husky community. No matter what the future holds together we will shift and together we will move forward.” Sincere congratulations to the students, and the parents, of all of our middle schoolers!

REACH has their end of the year celebrations next week with a water slide and shaved ice truck on Tuesday and a half-day on Wednesday with a noon departure. Congratulations to all our REACH students, and their parents - it has been so great to have you on campus this year!

Lastly, all of our Rolling Hills Prep and Renaissance upper school students have their closing ceremonies on the front lawn next Wednesday, June 9 at 10:30 AM, and the Class of 2021 will be celebrating our 37th Commencement ceremonies on Friday, June 11. Sincere congratulations to all of our upper school students, and their parents as well!

We look forward to the continued celebration of the momentous accomplishments of all of our students, and their successes could not have been possible without your continued support.

All the best,

David
Head of Schools

2021 Athletic Awards Presentation
An important year-end tradition is our annual Athletic Banquet that celebrates all of our Husky athletes who participated in sports teams throughout the year. Although this year altered the landscape significantly, many upper school teams were still able to compete and train with shortened seasons as restrictions were lifted. We are immensely proud of the perseverance and grit our Husky athletes demonstrated this year!
Go Huskies!
