Porter-Gaud School

Welcome back, faculty and staff! Today we gathered for our Opening Eucharist in the new St. Timothy's Chapel as we begin the 2026-27 school year together. Here's to a fantastic year of purpose, learning, and service!

Please join us in welcoming our newest cohort of faculty and staff for the 2026-27 school year! We are thrilled to have them on campus and can’t wait for the year ahead.

It was great seeing so many at our New Family Cookout yesterday evening! We look forward to many more community gatherings in the year ahead.

Thank you as well to all who stopped by our Gently Used Uniform Sale!

That's a wrap on eight weeks of fun at Camp Cyclone! We are grateful to our entire staff for creating a space where campers could explore, learn, build friendships, and make memories that will last long after summer ends.

This summer, Porter-Gaud rising senior Maya O. ’27 traveled to Sri Lanka to work alongside a speech and language therapy program. During her time abroad, she engaged with educators and students, building meaningful connections while learning from a new community and culture.

Made possible through the Richards Memorial Fund, Maya's experience was part of the fund's ongoing support of student service initiatives. We are grateful to the Richards family for making opportunities like this possible and look forward to hearing more about Maya's experience at an Upper School assembly this fall!

Porter-Gaud alum and Indiana Pacers guard-forward Aaron Nesmith '18 returned to campus for his fifth annual basketball camp!

Nearly 75 kids spent two days learning from the Charleston native, sharpening their skills, and soaking up lessons from a hometown mentor who's made it to the NBA.

Huge thanks to Aaron and his entire team of volunteers for another unforgettable weekend. Once a Cyclone, always a Cyclone.

The Class of 2027 is already getting a head start on the college application process.

This summer, students have been participating in our Common Application workshops with the College Counseling Office and Dr. Lehman, where they are strengthening their activity lists, brainstorming college essays, and receiving feedback before application season begins.

Thank you to our College Counseling Office and Dr. Lehman for helping students prepare for what's ahead!

📆 Mark your calendars: our next workshops will be on July 22, July 29, and August 6!
