With an eye always to the sky, Willie Gillespie '23 received the go-ahead from school administration earlier this year for the purchase of an Earth Networks WeatherBug weather station. Researching, creating, and then using a sizable PowerPoint presentation to gain Principal Jason Huther’s approval, it took just under 30 minutes for Huther to grant Gillespie the go-ahead on the $3,500 a year system. The school’s cutting-edge science curriculum is expected to reap the benefits.

Just as we meticulously planned for safe reopening in the fall, we are carefully planning to allow increased in-person extracurricular activities. In addition to current steps to screen for the virus and prevent its spread, we are adding a COVID-19 testing program. For this rapid antigen testing program we will begin with use of Abbott Laboratories BinaxNOW tests. We will only test a student with parental/guardian consent.
