Maret has been busy all summer getting campus ready for the new school year. With brand new gym floors, refreshed spaces, and a few final touches, we’re almost ready to welcome everyone back.

We can’t wait to see you around campus!

Congratulations to Maret’s photography and photojournalism teacher, Ana Sotelo, whose photography was featured on the front page of The New York Times today!

Ana’s powerful images accompany a story about the dedicated team working to protect Humboldt penguins and preserve the Punta San Juan reserve in Peru.

Through her photography, Ana brings their work to life while highlighting the impact of climate change and the importance of conservation.

As National Make-A-Will Month comes to an end, we’re highlighting the importance of planning ahead and the lasting impact of giving back.

After 28 years of teaching and coaching at Maret, former faculty member Vance Gage continues to give back to the community he loves. Mr. Gage discovered FreeWill through Maret and with it, a simple way to create a will to help take care of his family and also make a meaningful gift to Maret.

FreeWill is a complimentary planned giving tool available to the Maret community, making it easy to plan for the future and create a lasting impact. Learn more and start planning your legacy today. www.maret.org/support-maret/planned-giving

Congratulations to Ethan Michel ’26, named a 2026 Milken Scholar!

One of just five students from Washington, DC, selected this year, Ethan was recognized for his academic excellence, leadership, community service, and perseverance. A standout student-athlete, musician, and community leader, Ethan made a positive and lasting impact on Maret through his involvement in student council, the Black Student Union, Handsome Black Men affinity group, and varsity soccer.

This summer, Ethan attended the Milken Scholars Summit at American University, connecting with fellow scholars, alumni, and inspiring professionals. He’ll head to Yale University this fall to study ethics, politics, and economics, with plans to pursue a career in law.

Members of the Maret College Counseling team hit the road this summer, visiting 7 colleges across 3 states and 2 countries in just 5 days!

Dana Krein and Jane Shiu toured Bates, Colby, Bowdoin, the University of New Hampshire, Middlebury, the University of Vermont, and McGill University, with a stop at The Mountain School along the way.

From connecting with Maret’s college admissions reps and catching up about Maret alumni to exploring campuses, sampling dining halls, and trying Vermont maple creemees, it was a summer road trip full of learning, connection, and fun!

The Center for Institutional Research in Independent Schools regularly invites a small cohort of institutional research practitioners to join its Fellows Lab around a specific topic area selected by CIRIS. The goal of the Fellows Lab is to produce a resource that could potentially benefit the entire independent school institutional research community. Participants join the cohort and collaborate amongst themselves and with external organizations to create these resources. The 2025-2026 CIRIS Fellows Lab cohort met at Maret to put the finishing touches on the forthcoming CIRIS Data Governance Handbook that will give independent schools recommendations for essential data to collect and how to store it to ease analysis and integration of operational AI tools.

Earlier this summer, Mike Matthews from Authentic Education visited Maret to provide training in Understanding by Design, an approach to curriculum development. Faculty in various ICIEs took part. What are ICIES? ICIES are part of Maret's Case Institute for Curricular Innovation and Excellence. This year, we had curricular projects spanning all three divisions and almost every department with around 70 faculty participating!
