We had a great time celebrating the end of an excellent season and our graduating seniors at the debate banquet last night!

We have two WA Middle School teams competing in the Middle School TOC this weekend here on campus. 7th graders Joy and Dhanush and 8th graders Jason and Tim are prepping for Round 1. Coaches Rishi ‘27 and Lane ‘26 are helping them out!

Both teams finished 3-3! Congrats to our MS students on a great end of the season. We are so excited for next year!

The best part of a Middle School tournament is the Upper School coaches who step up to coach them. Many thanks to Coach Lane, Coach Rishi, Coach Thad, Coach Lasya, and Coach AJ for getting our WA Middle School students ready to compete!

Always a treat to get to hang with these two! Karthik Srinivasan ‘13 and Arjun Srinivasan ‘18. Woodward Alumni

Congrats to Kayce Brown ‘25 — state champion in both Storytelling AND Radio Broadcasting at the first inaugural GFCA Supplemental State Tournament. Yeah Kayce!!
