Louise S. McGehee School

Students, faculty, trustees, donors, and our architecture and construction partners gathered on April 29th to celebrate the upcoming renovation of the Janet Wallace Yancey '23 Auditorium and construction of a new entryway and front office.

This project is the first phase of McGehee's Campus Master Plan, which was developed and will now be implemented after years of study and community input. This investment in McGehee's campus and future is funded entirely through charitable contributions.

McGehee's Class of 2026 graduated on Thursday, May 21, in the school's timeless tradition of long pink dresses. The Class of 2029 began the ceremony by carrying in the daisy chain they made for the seniors. Student Body President Julia Mahfouz welcomed guests, and Valedictorians Zoey Bergeron and Sam Scalise gave valedictory addresses, with a class reflection from Class President Juliana Elias. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

That’s a wrap on an incredible school year! From the 4th Grade Jumper Drop to the 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony and final assemblies across all divisions, we’ve celebrated every milestone. Wishing everyone a great summer!

The Parents' League celebrated a year of exceptional community-building and volunteerism with a reception at the Cole Pratt Gallery. The evening honored McGehee parents for their time and talent through roles including room parents, event chairs, annual giving grade captains, and parent ambassadors, and recognized Parents' League President Amanda Moeller for her leadership.
