Congressional candidate Teresa Benitez‑Thompson visited campus today to meet with Upper School students right as they begin their politics and history curriculum. Her visit gave students the chance to take what they’re learning in class and apply it to real policy conversations with someone who works directly in government.

Upper School science students jumped right into hands‑on learning this week. AP Environmental Science explored the Tragedy of the Commons and set up mung bean investigations, Chemistry classes used conservation of mass experiments to debunk the phlogiston theory, and AP Chemistry applied Beer’s Law to determine dye concentration in a sports drink. Engineering students also took on the Can You Canoe? challenge, designing and testing miniature canoes as an introduction to the design process.
