Pilgrim School

We held our spring Sports Banquet this past Wednesday. We are so proud of our student-athletes; over 75% of our students participated in Panther athletics this year. Go Panthers! Thank you to all of our coaches for the meaningful seasons and experiences (wins, losses, playoffs, and championships!!) you provided for our student-athletes.

We can’t wait to see their progress over next school year!

Yesterday, we came together as a whole community for the final time this year for our Yearbook Dedication and Awards Ceremony, and it was a truly joyful and uplifting day.

We began by celebrating this year’s Yearbook Dedication to Ms. Amanda Stewart, one of our beloved fifth-grade teachers. Our yearbook is created by a class of secondary students who thoughtfully select the honoree through a confidential voting process.

Our Awards Ceremony highlighted the hard work, academic achievement, leadership, and accomplishments of our students. The energy throughout the school was inspiring and served as a powerful reminder of why we do this work each day.

Juniors and Seniors in the Aerospace class went on a private tour of SpaceX, exploring rocket fabrication and seeing how physics and engineering manifest in real life!

🎉🎉 Congratulations to Pilgrim’s Middle School Debate Team on an outstanding performance at the Golden State Debate League Championships! 🎉 🎉

We are proud to share that Asa and Ethan were ranked the 5th best team overall, with Asa also earning recognition as the 4th best speaker and Ira placing 5th individually. As a team, Pilgrim placed 3rd overall among competing schools—an impressive accomplishment!

These results reflect the dedication, preparation, and intellectual rigor our students bring to debate, as well as the commitment of our coaches who challenge and support them every step of the way.

We are incredibly proud of our middle school debaters for representing Pilgrim with excellence! Go Pilgrim! 🏆

Interdisciplinary artist and educator Edi Dai visited our Elementary art class today, exploring the origins and histories of different textile traditions while guiding them in weaving a small piece inspired by the fibers they grew last year.

Students learned to identify a variety of textiles, explored traditional fiber-processing techniques, and practiced using a spinning wheel. Edi is the founder of Groundwork, a program that brings students and artisans together through hands-on fiber practices.

Rockstars amongst us! The Whisky a Go Go performances last night were nothing short of spectacular. Pilgrim has such incredibly talented and confident students! Rock On Panthers!

Bravo Pilgrim filmmakers! We had our Panthers Film Fest 2026 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. What an unforgettable night of talent and community. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to support our talented middle and high school students as they showcased their films.

Students, your imagination and talent in creating your art was something to behold!

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Stein and Ms. Wiseman for their tireless dedication in making this night so special for all of us.

Arts Fest on Friday was incredible! Students’ beautiful artwork was on display, custom t-shirt making, and an exciting student sculpture car race! The food was delicious, and our community’s time together is always the best! Special thanks to the Arts Department, Facilities, PPA, Admin, and student volunteers for making this community event such a success!

In Science, we had a special visit from the Dairy Council of California and their Mobile Dairy Classroom! Students in EE–5th got to see a real cow and learn all about how milk goes from the farm to our tables. They explored cow anatomy, digestion, and how farmers care for animals, as well as how milk is produced and processed.

This is connected to our science learning by helping students understand life science concepts, where food comes from, and how agriculture uses science and technology in real life!

Varsity Golf Panthers completed an undefeated season, winning the Omega League Golf Championship for the first time in Pilgrim School history! Go Panthers!
