St. Richard's Episcopal School

Congratulations to the St. Richard’s Class of 2026! As Bishop Jennifer said in her commencement address: we are so proud of you, and you are so ready for your next steps.

We have loved being a part of your lives, helping to shape the marvelous humans you are becoming.

Hooray for the last day of school! What a year of growth, exploration, and learning it has been for all our Dragons, from age 3 to Grade 8, from August through May.

Have a safe summer, and if we don't see you at Dragon Camp, we will see you again the fall! With love, your St. Richard's teachers and administrators.

Honoring fallen soldiers this Memorial Day, with gratitude for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Grade 8 student Laila will attend Herron High School this fall. She will miss her teachers at St. Richard's. Her favorite memory is the overnight trip to Waycross. We will miss you so much, Laila!

Grade 7 students had a wonderful time on their overnight trip to Waycross Camp and Conference Center earlier this spring. Spending screen-free hours together allowed for days filled with imagination and connection: acting out Shakespeare, building a bridge to get everyone across a creek (safely and mostly dry!), hiking a few miles, celebrating morning chapel, reflecting on leadership qualities, creating and implementing a tetherball tournament, learning a bit about the topography and ecology of Brown County, enjoying a school-appropriate version of truth or dare around the camp fire, painting with water colors, making slime, sharing responsibility for cleaning their cabins, and playing competitive and team-building games such as capture the flag, basketball, soccer, gaga ball, and an epic teeter totter.

Thank you, Waycross and The Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis, for providing a safe space for creating wonderful, life-long memories!

Grade 8 student Isabel will attend Park Tudor this fall. She will miss the community at St. Richard's. Asked about her favorite memory, she said, "My favorite memory is of the Italy trip in 8th grade. I spent time with friends sightseeing & experiencing the different cultures and practiced speaking Italian, which I enjoyed." We will miss you so much, Isabel!
