The Roeper School

Congratulations to Roeper seventh grader Simran Adnani on receiving the Ronald Mosier Award for Outstanding Student Presentation at the Mathematical Association of America annual meeting! 👏

Simran was invited to present her original proof No Odd Perfect Squares Are Perfect Numbers at Saginaw Valley State University, sharing her work alongside collegiate presenters. Unbeknownst to participants, presentations were evaluated by a panel of seven judges—and Simran's stood out.

This is an exceptional accomplishment, and we are so proud of Simran’s intellectual curiosity, creativity, and dedication. Her achievement reflects the depth of her thinking and the passion she brings to her work.

Simran’s journey was featured in our latest issue of Keeping in Touch:

Before break, Roeper had the incredible opportunity to welcome Redhot & Blue, Yale’s renowned a ca****la group, to campus! 🎶

The group spent the day working with our Small Choir during a master class, sharing their expertise, stories, and passion for music. Later, they put on a unforgettable performance during Community Block—filling the building with energy, harmony, and more than a few goosebumps.

Middle and Upper School students asked thoughtful questions about everything from the art of a ca****la to life at Yale, making it not just a performance, but a truly meaningful exchange. Experiences like these reflect the power of connection, creativity, and learning beyond the classroom.

We’re proud that Roeper left an impression, too—one member shared, “This whole building just has good vibes.” 😊

Thank you, RedHot & Blue, for spending part of your tour with us. We loved having you here!

Last Friday, our Lower School celebrated Cultural Exploration Day—one of our favorite community traditions!

Students enjoyed an energetic performance by Congolese Dancers before heading to workshops led by families, faculty, and staff. From sharing traditions and languages to personal stories and hobbies, each session highlighted the richness within our own community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so meaningful. We love learning from one another! 💛

We were excited to welcome alumni back to campus for Philumni Day—a beloved Roeper tradition connecting past and present Roeperians.

Students explored diverse career paths while hearing firsthand how our graduates carry the Roeper Philosophy into their professional lives and communities. From artists and entrepreneurs to doctors, advocates, and scholars, each alum reflects on what it means to be an active, compassionate citizen of the world.

An inspiring day of learning, connection, and philosophy in action. 💙

The Roeper Reptars continue to bring energy, teamwork, and sportsmanship to the field! Our Lower School soccer players are building skills, confidence, and friendships while proudly representing Roeper.

We love watching our youngest athletes grow and have fun through the game. Go Reptars! 🐊⚽

Last night, between varsity basketball games, we took a special moment to celebrate our 19 seniors 💙🏀

Senior Night is more than a tradition. It’s a chance to recognize the dedication, leadership, and heart our seniors have brought to Roeper Athletics. Each athlete was honored with words that represented our community with pride.

Thank you, seniors, for the energy you’ve poured into your teams and for the examples you’ve set for younger players. We’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see what’s next. 💫

🏈 Before the Super Bowl weekend, Jay and Jesie’s class had a special guest on Zoom.

NFL veteran and Seattle Seahawks player Johnathan Hankins, cousin of one student’s mother, joined the class to talk about his journey to the NFL. Students came prepared with great questions and left with lessons that will stick long after game day.
