 | In becoming a premier institution in the South, Savannah Country Day School benefited from the solid foundation laid down by The Pape School in 1905. Pape’s headmistress, Miss Nina Anderson Pape, sought out to “educate the whole child” – body, mind, and spirit.
More than 100 years since Pape’s founding, Savannah Country Day continues to carry on Nina Pape’s vision, producing graduates that successfully handle the challenge of multiple AP classes, while also excelling on the athletic field, on the stage, in the community, or any combination of the above.

2013 Commencement Speaker
5/13/2013
Country Day proudly welcomes Porter A. Halyburton, CDR, USN (Ret.) as the 2013 Commencement Speaker. Halyburton spent 7 1/2 years as a POW in Vietnam where he was put into a cell with Maj. Fred Cherry, a badly wounded African American Air Force officer. Aware of his racial strife in the United States, the Vietnamese thought they would find only misery in each other's company. The two men came to love each other as brothers, and their story is told in James Hirsch's 2004 book, Two Souls Indivisible. Read more about Porter Halyburton HERE.

Bruce Feiler ('83) Returns to SCDS
3/12/2013
New York Times best-selling author and SCDS alum, Bruce Feiler, returned to campus Monday morning to host a lecture and book signing for his new book, The Secrets to Happy Families. Bradley Conference Room was full of students, alumni, parents and friends as they listened to Bruce discuss his personal experiences as a father and how those experiences inspired him to write his book. He set out on a three-year journey to find the smartest ideas, cutting-edge research, and novel solutions to make his family happier. Instead of the usual psychologists and family “experts,” he sought out the most creative minds from Silicon Valley to the country’s top negotiators, from the set of Modern Family to the Green Berets and asked what team-building exercises and problem-solving techniques they use with their families. Feiler then tested these ideas with his own wife and kids. The result is a fun, completely original look at how families can draw closer together, complete with 200 never-before-seen best practices. Make sure to visit the Hornet Shop to pick up your copy of The Secrets to Happy Families today!

GMEA All-State Orchestra
2/26/2013
GMEA All-State Orchestra auditions are comprehensive and competitive at each level. Students prepare three octave scales, arpeggios, etudes, and sight reading for the district audition, are evaluated by judges in person, and compete against themselves for a passing score before going on to the state level audition. At the second audition they prepare excerpts and more sight reading and compete against students from across the state. Those earning the highest scores make it into all-state orchestra ensembles. The All-State Orchestras will rehearse and perform this weekend in Savannah. Last year GMEA instituted statewide honor orchestras, and these students will travel to Atlanta in April for a day of rehearsals and a performance in the evening.

Danny Park ('15) Named Grand Champion of Regional Science & Engineering Fair
2/15/2013
Congratulations to sophomore Danny Park on his tremendous accomplishment at the Regional Science Fair. During the awards ceremony on the evening of Thursday, February 14, Danny's project was selected as the grand prize winner. He will travel to Athens, GA for the State competition at the end of March. From there, he hopes to qualify for the international completion in Phoenix, AZ in May.
Below is a brief abstract of his amazing project:
Hydroelectric Dock Side Power? It’s Not a Breeze.
A myriad of people have access to the coast. Large corporations and the government push for most green energy, but if green energy is opened to the consumer market, there could be a larger effect on the amount of fossil fuels burned daily. This experiment was performed in order to determine the best turbine configuration for generating tidal dockside power. It consisted of systematically testing how much power was generated for different propeller shapes (airfoil, sickle and increasing arc), different numbers of blades (2-8), different gear ratios (2:1 to 31.5:1), and different propeller angles. All of these were tested at different water speeds. While this may seem like a lot of variables to test, they were all tested because it was unknown if they affect each other and if so, how. As a result of this experiment, it was determined that the number of blades does not affect the optimum blade shape while gear ratio does affect shape. Also, a conclusion was made that the number of blades and the gear ratio affect the optimum pitch independently. With this data, the world is a step closer to a greener future.

Mock Trial Team Wins Regional Championship
2/12/2013
On February 9, Savannah Country Day School’s Mock Trial Team won the regional mock trial competition, held at the Chatham County Courthouse. Savannah Country Day students earned top honors at the regional mock trial title for the fifth time in the past six years.
The 2013 SCDS Mock Trial Team will head to the state championship tournament in Lawrenceville, Ga. on March 16 and 17. The state mock trial tournament is sponsored by the Georgia State Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division. In Mock Trial competition, students play the roles of attorneys and witnesses based on evidence and witness statements provided to participants. Professional attorneys or judges serve as the presiding judges and jurors. Teams are evaluated on their ability to make a logical, cohesive and persuasive presentation, rather than on the legal merits of the case.
In the regional competition, SCDS students brought home a total of seven awards. This year's team was anchored by four-year lettermen Bryant Thomson and Jake Weidner, who both won Best Attorney Awards. Other winners were Amanda Bourquaye, who won two Best Attorney Awards, Andrew Stoehr who won one best Attorney Award, and Kevin Franco and Grayson Lowenthal who brought home Best Witness Awards. Other Seniors included Dillon Chu and Alix Hudon.
The Savannah Country Day School Mock Trial team is coached by faculty Peter Foley and Keith Muller. Attorney Coaches include SCDS parents Trish Murphy and Dennis Keene, SCDS alumnus Colin McRae ('91) and Lin Grindle.

Every year on September 8 (9/8), Upper School teachers Mr. Weber and Mr. Manly come together to demonstrate that objects in free fall drop at 9.8 meters per second squared.

Students watched in awe as thrown watermelons splattered on the concrete below. Other items, such as a two-liter bottle of coke, a bowling ball and a bread maker also took the plunge. With its broad appeal to Physics students and by-standers alike, Free Fall Day provided an exciting show for all of those that participated!
