FROM THE ALUMNI OFFICE

Dear Alumni,

Another year at GCS has ended, students and faculty are enjoying a well-deserved summer vacation, and the Dragon alumni community is delighted to welcome 67 new and outstanding members from the Class of 2023! We will miss their presence next fall, but are excited to watch them make their unique mark on the world.

The 2022–2023 school year finally saw a return to a full schedule of alumni gatherings, kicking off with a Nationals vs. Orioles game in June, and including the induction of the new class into the GCS Athletic Hall of Fame in October. In the winter, alumni flocked to campus to attend Alumni Basketball Night, Cracker Barrel, and to see the fantastic Upper School musical performance of Hairspray.

Connecting with alumni is always a favorite pastime of our faculty and staff here at GCS, culminating in May at the annual Spring Alumni Reunion. This year, over 150 alumni, families, and past faculty gathered in the Manor House for an afternoon of great food, beverages, music, and laughs. We also honored David Weeks, celebrating his retirement after over 40 years of dedication to the GCS and the surrounding community. Thank you, Mr. Weeks!

We continue to explore new opportunities for our alumni to engage with GCS, especially connecting with current Dragons. Keep up with GCS happenings through our Alumni E-News and social media, and know that you are always welcome back at any campus event. We would love to see you!

Always a Dragon!

A Fond Farewell to an Impactful Presence

This spring, David Weeks retired from Glenelg Country School after 40 years of service. Over 140 Dragon alumni, families, colleagues, and friends attended the Spring Alumni Reunion on May 13, where Weeks was honored as special guest and feted by Walter Mattson, Greg Ventre, and others. Community members were also invited to share memories of Weeks, which were collected in a special photo album and compiled in a video that was presented at the Upper School’s final Forum of the year.
