Our Blog & Resources for Parents

The recent release of McKinsey & Company and Leanin.org’s 7^th Women in the Workplace report caught my eye as we begin work on the fourth priority area of our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, student leadership and agency. Though progress continues, women are still underrepresented in leadership positions and representation decreases with each rung of the corporate ladder, especially for women of color. The report also touches on the changing nature of the roles women are increasingly taking on at work, labor important to outcomes including employee support and diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is not being formally recognized.

We were thrilled to have our students back with us on campus for the start of our 2021-2022 school year on August 25, 2021. It was an especially poignant day to witness students walking into their classrooms after having started last school year in remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although our annual Convocation ceremony was held virtually as we limit visitors on campus and the size of student gatherings during this period of high COVID transmission in our area, we were together both physically and digitally—students watched the ceremony in small groups across campus and parents joined us online.
