On May 16, fifth through eighth grades gathered in Mary Eliot Chapel for the annual Middle School Recognition Assembly, a special event to recognize outstanding student achievements in this academic year. In her remarks, Head of Middle School Jen Schuckman said, “If you think back to August and then consider where you are today, I hope you can identify a multitude of successes and moments of growth of which you can be very proud. There is no doubt that each and every one of you has had to dig deep and push yourself in ways that you did not anticipate back in the fall. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed and you should be feeling a strong sense of pride for a job well done.”
Congratulations to all honorees for their hard work and commitment, and to every Middle School student, for contributing to our community in meaningful ways. View the list of award recipients below!
