Senior Seminar Night

April 19, 2023 | Media

Last night was Senior Seminar Night. These seminars are a yearlong effort, and the presentations to distinguished guests, faculty members, parents, and fellow students are the pinnacle in our Form VIII student’s academic education.

The topics were impressive and varied. A small sampling were The Job of the Judge, Ethereum Explained, Analyzing the Guitar: its Evolution and Influence Throughout The Years, An Analysis of the War on Drugs in the Andean Region and Its Effects on American Policies, C.S. Lewis’ Assessment of what Makes and Defines a Dystopia, and Habit Formation of Tics in Tourette’s Syndrome.

Kudos to these young men on their hard work and for their poise during their presentations in responding quickly and thoughtfully to questions from our many guests. Several students even did so completely in a second language!

Beware the Ides of Form I

In Form I Social Studies, fifth graders were introduced to the life of Julius Caesar. Three students claimed to be the real Caesar, but only one was telling the truth. The other two were imposters. Using clues from each presentation, the rest of the class had to decide who was authentic.

Clean Water Supplies

Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.

MLK Day of Service

Our Upper School students, faculty, and staff served across Dallas County for our MLK Day of Service.
