Last week, we gathered for our Senior Awards Banquet to celebrate the hard work, achievements, and contributions of this incredible class.

We are so proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to celebrating them again at graduation this week. Join us in congratulating the Class of 2026!

🙌 Shouting a huge congratulations to Logan McDonnell, Moxie Barrow-Somers, and Elena Chappell—three outstanding students who earned First in School recognition in Mathematics and Statistics from Bucknell University through the 53rd Annual John Steiner Gold Mathematical Competition. This achievement reflects their dedication, problem-solving abilities, and commitment to academic excellence in mathematics. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the way they represented our school in this competition.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. Killian for organizing mathematics competition opportunities throughout the year and for continually supporting, encouraging, and challenging our students to reach their highest potential. Her dedication helps foster a strong culture of academic achievement and inspires students to pursue excellence in mathematics and beyond.

Congratulations for this incredible achievement!

A CASA senior tradition—Senior Sunrise at the beginning of the fall, and now the Class of 2026 has shared their Senior Sunset. ☀️

As we get ready for graduation in one week, we’ve had the privilege of watching this amazing class of artists grow and step more fully into their passions. We’re so proud of each of you and excited for what’s ahead. 🎓

Shouting a big congratulations to CASA student Matthew Brehm on an incredible accomplishment! 👏

Matthew recently placed 29th at the National Geography Bee in Cambridge, Massachusetts, after originally competing against more than 6,000 students from across the country.

Only 38 students representing 12 different states advanced to compete for the national championship—an amazing achievement and testament to Matthew’s hard work, knowledge, and dedication.

We are so proud of you, Matthew, and excited to celebrate this outstanding milestone with our CASA community! 🎉

Congratulations to all of our CASA Live students and faculty on an incredible weekend of performances!

Waves was such a powerful showcase of creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. From the performances to the original music, movement, film, writing, and visual art, every moment reflected the passion and talent of these students. Months of hard work came together in such a meaningful and unforgettable way, and we could not be more proud.

Sharing a few more moments from this weekend’s shows — celebrating the artistry, emotion, and community that make CASA Live so special year after year. Bravo to everyone who helped bring this production to life! 💙💚
