Then, just as suddenly, exams end, and within a few hours, 300 kids pack up and leave.

Nevertheless, the passion of our farewells demonstrates the strong web of student relationships.
The New England Championship football game will be played against Noble & Greenough School at Phillips Exeter Academy Saturday at noon. Join us, and support the team in green!
