Our last Senior Spotlight - Skylar! Skylar joined the Watershed community only two short years ago, which is hard to believe. She packed in plenty of adventure during her time here, including a memorable Iceland May Term. Good luck at Chapman in the fall - we know you're going to do amazing things. We're so proud of you, Skylar! 💙

Our next Senior Spotlight is Melody! We've been so lucky to have her with us at Watershed for the last two years, and we'll miss her so much when she heads off to NYU next spring.

The elusive Lewis & Clark May Term group has returned from their 10-day paddling journey on the Missouri River! After retracing the river route taken by Lewis & Clark in the 1800s, it's time to rest before gearing back up for the last week of school. We're so glad to have them back!

The Civil Rights Road Trip May Term rounded out their incredible trip with more stops the South. Students visited the University of Mississippi J.D. Williams Library, explored sites along the Freedom Trail, and reflected at Bryant’s Grocery and the courthouse tied to the tragedy and trial of Emmett Till. In Memphis, they visited the historic Lorraine Motel - now home to the National Civil Rights Museum and the site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, and also had the chance to visit the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery. This deeply impactful journey offered students an unforgettable opportunity to engage with the history, courage, and ongoing legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.
