There's a lot to celebrate this September. Solebury School opened with the highest enrollment in recent history, welcoming 240 students to campus on September 10. Last week we held convocation, a tradition to welcome new students, staff, and faculty into the community. Gathered under the Graduation Oak, our seniors spoke of the symbols in our crest and what they mean for us as a school, students paraded with flags representing their various countries and cultures, and new members of the community were inducted into their houses (Erskine, Holmquist, Lathrop, Washburn).
