  • Upper School Students Work to Promote Democracy

    It was a big week for democracy in the Upper School, both on campus and in the greater Savannah community! On Sept 27, Seniors Rachel Mascolo and Vik Manocha organized a voter registration drive to coincide with High School Voter Registration Week, a program of The Civics Center, which is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that works to promote youth civic engagement and participation. Together with support from Ms. Jewell Anderson, Ms. Michelle Dumais and Ms. Amy Laughlin, these students helped to educate their peers about the importance of civic engagement and to get them registered vote in our upcoming local and national elections. Altogether some 30 Country Day students became registered voters!

  • Faculty Service Day

    It was a day of faculty bonding and service as over 100 faculty members and their families volunteered their time on Saturday at a variety of non-profits within our community. From cooking a communal meal at Ronald McDonald House to packing groceries and weekend meals at both Second Harvest and PACK, our faculty and their families dove headfirst into our Faculty Service Day.

"What I loved most about Country Day was the support that we always got from the faculty… The confidence and ease to initiate contact with some of the most influential professors in the fields was something that Country Day taught me very early on and something that I have used extensively in my time here at Stanford."
Kim Nguyen, Class of 2011
"In my business (as a NASA engineer), we have to launch a rocket within an extremely tight window that's just minutes long because small deviations at that early, fiery moment have an enormous impact on the ultimate destination of the spacecraft. I believe that my time at SCDS, though brief and more than twenty years ago, continues to have a similar impact on my life."
Jeff Norris ‘94
"This school taught me how to think for myself while at the same time considering--and being respectful of--the thoughts of others. SCDS challenged me to think globally, to discern the devil in the details, and to unabashedly ask questions about the things that I didn’t understand.  The myriad of clubs one could join, the access to the arts of many disciplines, the many sports teams – all created an environment that allowed the students intellectual independence, creativity, innovation, a strong sense of self, as well as collegiality."   
Joseph Conyers ‘99
"A Country Day education will give you the tools you need to succeed anywhere in the world."
