"Will you sign my yearbook?" Our 2025–2026 year "Will you sign my yearbook?"

Our 2025–2026 yearbooks are out, and we are zooming in on all the incredible memories and milestones that defined our school year.

This year’s editions are extra special because our Wildcats "paw prints" are all over them. Their photography, artworks, and journalism write-ups helped bring these books to life:
🎨 The Lower School cover and back were beautifully designed by our own students, perfectly capturing this year's theme of Friendship.
🔍 The Upper School theme, "A Snapshot of School," focuses on the big moments and the tiny details that you'll want to remember forever. 

Swipe through to see our students catching their first glimpses, signing autographs, and celebrating the bonds they've built all year long. 

What part of the yearbook is your favorite? Let us know below!
