All-school Cookout and Football Game

Online ticket orders have closed, but you are still able to join us for the Homecoming festivities! Walk-up tickets for the cookout may be purchased outside of Sperling Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Join us for the annual all-school cookout on Friday, Oct. 3 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The cookout will be located in Harvey B. Sperling Hall, the newly renovated Lower School and Middle School dining hall.
