What a joy it was to watch the Class of 2017 present their senior theses!!! I know the audience learned so much. It was evident that all of the seniors knew their material and research well and were able to confidently, eloquently, and humbly defend their theses to the distinguished panel of upper school faculty (Mr. Morton, Mr. Wilmoth, Mr. Leland) and administration/mentors (Mrs. Dearing and Mrs. Crouch). The culmination of their classical high school education as displayed through this rigorous rhetorical exercise was a beautiful moment to behold.
Well Done SENIORS! We are all so proud of your maturity, dedication, and hard work.
