Portledge Celebrates First Day of School

Communications
Yesterday we welcomed back students and faculty, new and old, to the first day of another academic year here at Portledge School. The campus was filled with excitement and energy as students were bustling around the school grounds, particularly around the new Portledge Commons, the school’s first capital campaign since 2003. Students were able to eat lunch in the new Dining Hall and attend classes in the new classrooms. When speaking to some members of the 12th grade they spoke highly of the new building with one student saying, “This building is so amazing. We’re definitely bummed we’ll only get to enjoy it as students for one year, but can’t wait to come back as alumni and enjoy it more, especially to watch athletic games from the patio.”

The day concluded with an all-school assembly featuring speeches from Katharine Mulry ‘18, Student Council President, and Ryan Levy ‘22, Middle School Student Council President, who reflected on their time at Portledge and highlighted memories that made Portledge special to them. The assembly started a new tradition that involved those students in the Middle School and 12th grade, who have attended Portledge since 1st grade, handing out a pin to each student in the current 1st grade class. The pin features the 1st graders graduating year on it, and we look forward to building this tradition in order to strengthen the Portledge community. Head of School, Simon Owen-Williams, concluded the assembly by charging all students to keep in mind the theme for this school year - collaboration. We’re excited to see our students explore, create, and excel during this year at Portledge School.
