Today's Senior Spotlight celebrates Barett, who will be attending to study Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Barett joins one of the nation's most selective institutions, where he will continue developing as a scholar, leader, and future officer.

Whether pursuing academic interests, taking on new challenges, or charting an ambitious path toward military service, he has consistently demonstrated the determination and curiosity needed to turn big goals into reality.

His advice to younger students reflects one of the lessons he learned along the way:

"At TEA, students are given the freedom to explore their passions to an extraordinary degree. The truth is that the only restriction at TEA is your own motivation. Once you realize that, there is no limit."

Congratulations, Barett! 💙

Rain, snow, or shine, our tennis players showed up!

Over the past two months, TEA students in grades 7–11 hit the courts twice a week to build skills, challenge themselves, and enjoy the game alongside teammates.

From refining fundamentals to developing new techniques, these athletes demonstrated the same perseverance and positive attitude that make school sports so valuable.

A huge thank you to Coach Eric, Coach Jamie, and Coach Monika for sharing their time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our student-athletes throughout the season! 🎾

Today's Senior Spotlight celebrates Jameson "Jamo" Drum, who will be embarking on a gap year filled with new adventures and opportunities.

If you've spent time around Jamo, you've likely experienced his easygoing spirit, sense of humor, and willingness to jump into whatever comes next. Over the years, he's grown into someone who approaches life with curiosity, courage, and an openness to new experiences.

His family describes it best: "Jamo is living his best life and we're just along for the ride."

That spirit has carried him through expeditions, friendships, challenges, and countless memories along the way. And now it's leading him into a gap year designed for even more exploration and growth.

We can't wait to see where the next adventure takes you, Jamo!

Today's Senior Spotlight celebrates Soren, who will be attending to study Forestry.

Throughout his time at TEA, Soren embraced the challenges that come with learning beyond the classroom. Whether in the backcountry, on expedition, or navigating life's inevitable setbacks, he learned that growth doesn't come from avoiding difficulty. It comes from moving through it.

His advice to younger students reflects that perspective:

"TEA gives you opportunities to mold who you are. To be capable, but more importantly, feel capable; to have the confidence in yourself to face life with your head held high."

Congratulations, Soren! Go Griz.

Today's Senior Spotlight celebrates Zeb, who will be taking a gap year before attending .

Many people know Zeb as an elite freeride skier, but those who know him best know there's much more to his story.

Whether standing atop a podium, watching the sunrise from a mountain ridge, casting a fly rod into a quiet river, or documenting the world through a camera lens, Zeb approaches life with equal parts determination, curiosity, and appreciation.

Throughout his time at TEA, Zeb embraced adventure both on and off the mountain. His advice to younger students reflects the mindset that has guided his journey:

“Take advantage of the opportunities that TEA offers. Try new things on expeditions, step outside your comfort zone, advocate for yourself, and make the most of your time.”

We're excited to see where your curiosity, creativity, and sense of adventure take you next, Zeb!

Art invites us to slow down, look closely, and see the world in new ways.

Recently, our 1st Grade Crew visited , where students explored exhibits, engaged with artwork from diverse cultures and perspectives, and experienced firsthand how museums can spark curiosity, creativity, and conversation.

Fieldwork takes many forms.
Sometimes it looks like sleeping under the stars.
Sometimes it looks like sitting quietly in front of a painting and noticing something you've never seen before.

Thank you to for creating meaningful opportunities for young learners!
