Select News is the magazine of Friends Select School. It includes in-depth articles, updates about our educational program, class notes, and much more. It is published twice a year and distributed to alumni, parents, and friends of the school.
Friends Select faculty, staff, and upper school students traveled to San Antonio, TX, in December for the annual People of Color Conference (PoCC) and Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC), hosted by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
Friends Select School hosted the first installment of its Transformation Talk series last September, titled “Building for the Future: How to Create Lasting Equitable and Accessible Learning Spaces.”
I am so proud of what we have accomplished together since we launched our strategic plan, Advance Friends Select.
Former Friends Select grandparents and longtime supporters of the school, Lon and Bonnie Greenberg GP’25, ’27 recently made a significant contribution to create an endowment fund for SummerSessions, a facet of the Advance Friends Select: Transformation Campaign.
