Welcome back.
As we begin the 2023-2024 school year, we urge you to keep an open mind in the classrooms of Wilson Hall. Much will be made of the new cell phone policies, and rightly so, as the restrictions are a departure from the previously lenient approach to cell phone usage. What we hope, though, is that valuable dialogue will not turn to conflict.
We do not want to tell you how to feel about the restrictions. Regardless of your stance, though, we hope that the student body can use this as an opportunity to engage with each other on a personal, authentic level.
As we navigate the academic year ahead, consider taking advantage of the time away from our screens.
Student leaders and recent Sixth Forms have worked to foster a culture of unconditional support and community engagement. While it is easy to feel frustration towards authority, we encourage you to instead seek meaningful conversations and true connections on the campus. We talk endlessly about brotherhood—what it means, why it matters, how to achieve it. Genuine interaction is the foundation of the brotherhood we idolize.
As we navigate the academic year ahead, consider taking advantage of the time away from our screens. Embrace the opportunity to connect with your peers on a deeper level, fostering relationships that transcend the digital world.
Let us all carry with us the spirit of unity, respect, and genuine connection that defines our community. Be bold, be true, and most importantly, be connected.
