Throughout this summer, Upper School students have been growing their engineering and coding skills in Bush Robotics, an exciting design and build summer program born from Gus Schiable ’26's STEM-focused Senior Project. This four-week workshop is all about problem-solving, collaboration, and applying STEM knowledge to build robots such as the VEX V5 Clawbot, which can be programmed to interact with and move objects.

Through this course, students of all coding experience levels have learned more about programming and engineering from Gus and Extended Day Faculty Jessica Washington, and have helped improve the robot to ensure it's ready for the VEX Robotics competition in the fall.

January 2026 marked the start of construction for the Center Campus, Middle School, and Commons building project. This is a major campus transformation and a key part of The Bush School’s Educational Master Plan. This exciting development will introduce innovative spaces in the fall of 2027, including a new Commons dining area, doubled in size, an expansive two-story building with larger classrooms, state-of-the-art science labs, collaboration hubs, and a student art gallery. There’s been significant progress thus far, and we can’t wait to see what's next.

It has been just over a month since the Class of 2026 turned their tassels and became Bush alumni, and we are excited to share some of the unforgettable moments from Commencement. Speeches reflected the connections built through years of supporting one another through accomplishments and challenges, while also looking ahead to the future. Grads shared their appreciation for the foundations of community and learning that will stay with them for a lifetime. Once a Blazer, always a Blazer.

The Bush School is closed on Friday, June 19, in recognition of Juneteenth. Juneteenth commemorates the day news reached enslaved people in Texas that the institutional practice of slavery in the United States had ended. The holiday recognizes that ninety years after our nation celebrated independence from British rule (July 4, 1776), enslaved Americans remained in bo***ge. Juneteenth has been celebrated for over 100 years as a way to honor the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of the Black community with a day of rest and reflection.
