The first week of classes kicked off with an action-packed Orientation Day that got students working together and bonding with classmates new and old. Informative seminars, fun activities, and a variety of team-building challenges helped new and veteran students and teachers get to know one another before they hit the books at the start of the academic year. In this visual essay, Director of School Photography Tyson Trish captured the excitement and enthusiasm the Blair community shared during the orientation of the 2023-2024 school year.

The summer is an ideal time for Blair students to read beyond the required texts of our curriculum. Short stories, novels, plays, poetry, narrative nonfiction and newer forms of literature, such as the graphic novel, offer the opportunity to follow one’s curiosity, strengthen reading and writing skills, develop a greater understanding of the human condition and, of course, have some fun.
Blair’s 175-year history is filled with a mix of well-documented facts and time-honored legends passed down through generations. From ghost stories and wartime mishaps to cows mysteriously appearing in dorms, we’ve teamed up with the School's historians and storytellers to uncover some of Blair's most enduring tales.
