Athletics Highlights

Bulldogs fans had plenty to cheer about this Spring 2024 sports season! Our playing fields and courts (as well as tracks and waterways both near and far) hosted hundreds of memorable moments. Some moments were more challenging than others, but they were always representative of student athlete ideals. Consistently demonstrating grit, purpose, and pride, our Middle School (MS) and Upper School (US) athletes gave it their all.
