JUNE 17, 2026
Happy Summer! We completed the school year the first week of June and were excited to host our annual Commencement ceremony last Friday for the Class of 2026! The end of the school year is always bittersweet because we say goodbye to our amazing graduates. Head of School Patrick McHonett shared his gratitude for the end of the school year with the community a couple of weeks ago.
During this time of year, we also have the pleasure of looking forward to welcoming new students to Flint Hill for the upcoming school year. Now is when the full focus becomes the first day of school and having your students on campus as official Huskies! With that in mind, below are some next steps to consider as you prepare for the transition.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
A Letter From the Parents' Association President
Dear Flint Hill Families,
Where has this year gone? It feels like last month I was writing my welcome message to kick off my term as Parents’ Association President. What a joy it has been to serve in this role this past year. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and for the many meaningful connections made along the way.
One of the things I love most about the Flint Hill community is how we honor traditions while welcoming fresh ideas and energy each year. With that in mind, please join me in welcoming incoming Parents’ Association President Stephanie Anderson. Stephanie has already made an impact in the Flint Hill community, where she has:
- Served as a divisional ambassador.
- Served as a concessions lead in the Den and Igloo.
- Served as an Admission volunteer.
- Helped at many school events such as Homecoming, Night on the Hill, Teacher Appreciation Week, Golf Invitational and Skills Social, and many parent meetups!
Stephanie’s generosity and commitment to our community shine through in everything she does, and I know the Parents’ Association will continue to thrive under her leadership.
While my term as President is coming to a close, I’m excited to continue serving alongside many of you next year as a Divisional Ambassador. We are especially thrilled that the Divisional Ambassador program has grown to nearly 90 volunteers heading into next year — a reflection of the incredible enthusiasm and dedication within our community.
To our parents, faculty, staff, and volunteers: thank you for the time, energy, and heart you give to strengthening the Flint Hill community. It has truly been an honor to serve alongside you, and I look forward to continuing to pull the sled together.
Wishing you a wonderful summer, and Go Huskies!
With gratitude,
Barbara O’Reilly P’27
