For those who will be joining us directly from the office, we recommend bringing a pair of comfortable shoes! As you walk from one end of Whitfield’s campus to the other, you may gain a new sense of appreciation for why your student comes home tired at the end of day. 

Our dining services team, SAGE, will provide you with substantial snacks and refreshments to enjoy throughout the evening. Thank you in advance for prioritizing this important event. We look forward to welcoming you to campus tomorrow evening. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us on the Academic Leadership Team.

Sincerely,

Ruth Greathouse, Principal
Matt DiGiulio, Middle School Director
Sara Ringe, Upper School Director
