The Country Day community came together for a special signing ceremony to honor three Hornets who have committed to playing collegiate football. Congratulations to Tyler Scott (Bryant University), Andrew Nicholson (Bucknell University), and Andrew Wynn (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga)! These dedicated student-athletes have been integral members of our Hornet family for years, excelling in football and as multi-sport athletes at SCDS. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and can’t wait to see them shine at the collegiate level!
We feel so fortunate to be a part of the SCDS family. The outstanding faculty and staff give us confidence that we are providing our son with an amazing educational experience!"
Julie & Adam Cohen, current parents
My career has turned out to be so fulfilling, and I look forward to each day! Moreover, my children are happy, safe, and well-rounded thanks to SCDS."
Carrie Vetrovsky, SCDS Teacher & Parent
We have been thrilled with how our daughter is thriving since transferring to SCDS for middle school. We are so appreciative of the faculty, staff and fellow parents who have eagerly guided us through this academic year. The school has exceeded our expectations."
Amy and Chad Brock, current parents
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, SCDS class of 1994
