This weekend, the hilltop was filled with love and cherished memories as families gathered on campus for this year’s Family Weekend. Over three days, families enjoyed a glimpse into their student’s daily life at Blair—attending classes, practices and experiencing dorm life.

“Our hearts were full of joy and pride when we left knowing that our son had chosen a school that provided such incredible opportunities to grow and discover his best self,” Shannon McCauley P’26 shared. 

Families cheered on their Bucs in a slate of athletic competitions against Lawrenceville School that saw wins from girls’ varsity soccer and field hockey. They also had the chance to watch our talented performers on stage, featuring scenes from Clue: On Stage and selections from the upcoming fall concert, relax in the sun on Hardwick Quad and explore everything our campus has to offer. The program was thoughtfully designed to showcase the full Blair experience, creating a meaningful opportunity for students to share their life here with loved ones.

“Seeing your child in a classroom setting is a unique experience,” Lynda Bernouy P’27 explained. “To see them shine, participate and truly experience the magic of a Blair classroom is an unforgettable moment as a parent. Parents Weekend is genuinely an example of why Blair is the best!”    

A key highlight of Family Weekend was the chance to engage with Blair’s close-knit community, where friendships and teacher-student relationships have a transformative impact on students’ lives. This occasion allowed families to interact with faculty and meet other parents, further enriching their understanding of the Blair experience.

“As families immersed themselves in school life this weekend, I hope they had the opportunity to
embrace what’s at the heart of the Blair experience,” Head of School Peter G. Curran P’27 ’27 shared, “building relationships and making meaningful connections with other members of the Blair family.”
