Five Days of Greatness – High School Symposium
Friday, February 13
“How can life be worth living, if devoid of the calm trust reposed by friend in friend? What sweeter joy than in the kindred soul, whose converse differs not from self-communion?” – Cicero
High school will celebrate Great Hearts Day by engaging in conversation about a book with friends. This year, they will read Romeo & Juliet (these will be handed out by HL teachers along with a pacing guide). High School scholars will go off campus to a rented space where they will engage in small group seminar discussions on the text and then enjoy acting out various scenes. Like the middle schoolers, they will have their own service project benefiting our rising 2026 6th graders. Then, they will eat lunch together and head back to the school.
In order to participate, we are asking parents to sign a permission slip for their high school scholar(s) to be able to go off campus for the day.
The PSO has created lists of items for families to donate for the rising 6th grade service project (by House) as well as sign-ups for volunteers. Items can be dropped off in House bins in the front lobby.
