What's most impressive about this piece is its scope and detail. It's incredibly well-researched. Kudos the school's Archives and Athletic departments for their record-keeping. The trading card motif is a clever and accessible presentation.

Interesting and fun concept. I'm very curious as to the criteria they used to determine which alumni they would highlight. I would imagine with a 175-year history, they have many that would qualify and make for an interesting story.

A truly remarkable CS curriculum integrated with the school's DEI efforts.

The piece approaches two familiar topics —STEM and DEI — in way that feels fresh and engaging. The story is well-researched and well-written, providing clear evidence of action and impact.

Great article on differentiator of the school and how it is vertically integrated and grown over time. Also, I like that they include student testimony of how the program has helped them.

This piece takes a very familiar construct—describing a classroom lesson or project—and skillfully contextualizes that narrative in the larger story of the school's strategic plan. The great layout and visuals really drive the story, and I am particularly impressed with the clever COVID-19 workarounds: the team used whimsical illustrations and photos of the projects themselves, not traditional photos of students, who were likely masked and/or remote at the time of production.

I love the layout and the snippets of story! The small consumable bites of information make it easy to read and as a parent I could insert my child into the various situations. I could see my kid at their school doing the fun stuff.
