Maclay School

A fun day at the ballpark with the best moms around — what a way to spend a Sunday! Thank you MCA and chair Michelle Winokur for another wonderful Mother Son Social! ☀️

An inspiring evening celebrating the creativity of Maclay’s student artists.
Families and friends gathered for the opening of the 5th Annual Come Together Art Show, showcasing remarkable work from across our Upper School. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients presented by Head of School James Milford:
The Elaine Cochran Memorial Award: Ashlyn Brown, “Golden Hour”
The Marauder Inspiration Award: Alice Frazee, “The Fall”
The Purchase Award: Melody Yu, “Distant Memories” — now part of Maclay’s permanent collection.
New this year, Awards of Distinction recognized three artists whose work stood out for creativity, skill, and vision:
Genevieve Lemmon, “Owl on a Tree Stump”
Cody Lemons, “Mr. Milligan”
Mackenzie Kittrell, “Life’s Moments”
Thank you to juror Leslie Anderson and to Amanda Karioth Thomason ’96 for her guidance and support in making this special evening possible.

Our 8th graders hit the road for the annual Civil Rights Trip through Alabama and Georgia — visiting the places, monuments, and museums they’ve studied in the classroom and bringing history to life. A powerful, unforgettable experience.

Proud of our Maclay DECA students at the State Competition! Special shoutout to Rory Earlywine for placing 10th in the state in Finance and earning a spot at the International DECA Conference in Atlanta next month. 🎉 Congrats to Manny Arisso, Max Colon, Luke Daunt, Caroline Couch, Rory Earlywine, Layla Hafez, Charlotte LeDu, and Nidhi Ponnaghanti for representing Maclay so well!

Félicitations to our French students because that’s a lot of ribbons! 🏆 Maclay earned 2nd place overall at Le Congrès de la Culture Française en Floride. Highlights include Supérieur ratings for their performance of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Project, Album, and poetry recitation. So proud of these Marauders!

Snapshots from last night, a beautiful evening on campus! Our orchestra and band gave an incredible performance last night — so proud of everyone who took the stage, from 3rd grade to 12th. 🎻

Junior Keya Patel has been named one of the Tallahassee Democrat’s “25 Women You Need to Know” – Young Women to Know honorees.

Now in its 20th year, the initiative continues to highlight individuals making a meaningful difference in our community.

Congratulations, Keya!

7th, 8th, 9th & 10th grade families: It's never too early to start thinking about college! Whether your student is just beginning to think about college or already exploring specific pathways, there will be valuable information for everyone.
