Dear Ashley Hall Family,
The 2010-2011 school year was one of great accomplishment for the Ashley Hall community. The 29 members of the small but mighty Class of 2011 were offered over $2.2 million in merit scholarships, including two Johnson Scholars at Washington and Lee, a Presidential Scholarship at the University of Southern California, and the Richardson Family Scholarship at Wofford. Ashley Hall athletes won 3 state championships in Tennis, Cross Country, and Equestrian Hunter/Jumper, and two state runner up titles in Volleyball and Track. Ashley Hall student artists were commissioned by a local business to create a mural and installation and others performed during Piccolo Spoleto. Ashley Hall student authors excelled in local and regional poetry contests and our academics were recognized nationally by the Presidential, National Merit, and Fulbright Scholarship programs! Thank you so very much to all of you who made a gift to support the school this year. Your generosity helps make these laudable achievements possible.
This year also saw the renewing of the schools commitment to health and wellness with the unveiling of a new playscape and traversing wall as well as the much anticipated opening of our new Dining Commons and a return to family-style dining.
This email includes the Head of School List, the Honor Roll list, the Athletic and Upper School Awards, and the touching and insightful speeches of our valedictorian and salutatorians. All these incredible achievements are the collective accomplishments of our Ashley Hall community and are reflective of the individual work of each and every student who embodies our school's motto: Possunt Quae Volunt! Girls with the will have the ability!
I wanted to share with you a special graduation video and a photo gallery of some of the 2010-2011 school year's milestones. Please click on the buttons to the left and enjoy a pictorial journey through a hallmark school year.
Best wishes,
Jill Muti
