A Community of Trust with Honor Above All
In all grades at St M, we strive to treat others as we would like to be treated. Honor, integrity, and accountability are an integral part of our core values and our honor pledge is signed each year by every Middle School student.
At Thursday's Honor Chapel, we were delighted to welcome St. Michael's alumna, Sara Nedeff '18, as our speaker. Thank you, Sara, for your insightful words on valuing and upholding personal honor and academic integrity.

Planning for High School: A Program for Eighth Grade Families
St. Michael's invites our Eighth Grade families to attend our High School Planning Program on Thursday, October 7, from 1-2:55 p.m. to learn about high school options and the application process, as well as to meet representatives from area independent schools. The program begins in the Middle School Library at 1 p.m. for a discussion with Mr. Gregg, Mrs. Stargell, and Mrs. Godwin, and then moves to the Great Hall and outdoor spaces.
The process of searching for, applying to, and selecting the high school program that best suits a young person is among the hidden gems of a K-8 school. The opportunity for a Middle School student to participate in such a significant decision can be a richly rewarding learning experience, one that paves the way for a thoughtful college choice four years later.
