Setting the tone a great season! 🐾

Before classes even started, our Upper School teams gathered for our annual Athletics Retreat to train, build leadership skills, and connect across sports. We love seeing this school spirit in action. Get ready for an incredible fall season, Cougars!

This year, we're excited to welcome Dr. Julie Torres into her new role as Head of Lower School. Already a familiar face at Calhoun as our Academic Dean, Julie will continue in that role while also leading Little Calhoun. Reflecting on the transition, Julie said, "Little Calhoun is such a special place. As children discover new things, I get to experience wonder, curiosity, and awe again through a new lens." We’re excited to see Julie bring her experience, perspective, and love of Calhoun to this new role!

For educators, back-to-school joy comes in phases! Our Senior Leadership Team was so excited to welcome faculty and staff back to campus this week. Our recent campus renovation and upcoming 10-year reaccreditation mark an important chapter in our 130-year history, and now we’ve each got a baton to run the strongest leg of our Calhoun race. Shout-out to Dr. Morgan Jenkins, Dean of Diversity, Equity and Belonging, for her powerful session on celebrating our strengths and affirming the contributions of every member of the Calhoun team. We can’t wait to amplify this energy when students and families join us in the coming days.
