An afternoon rooted in connection, reflection, and celebration!
Alumnae gathered at the Marines’ Memorial Club & Hotel for this year’s Reunion Luncheon, honoring classes ending in ’1 and ’6, while welcoming graduates from across the decades.
With thoughtful remarks from Head of School Michele Williams, members of the Alumnae Board, and 2026 Distinguished Alumna Award recipient Whitney Gaynor ’96, the room was filled with stories, laughter, and the enduring spirit of Burke’s.
Once a Burke’s girl, always a Burke’s girl. 💚💛

Emma Wheeler '18 and Lily Peta '18, both professional ballet dancers, returned to campus to talk about their shared love of dance, favorite school memories, and how the Burke's motto to educate, encourage, and empower laid the foundation for them to embark on founding and directing a nonprofit dance festival this summer in Sweden.
