The Dragons went a perfect 4-for-4 in New England regional qualifying berths this weekend (one of just two other New England schools who can make the same claim), drawing games in both boys and girls soccer, field hockey and volleyball.
Timed with the election season, Upper School Visual Arts teacher Jeffrey Baykal-Rollins, has recently installed his latest project, Even As We Speak (Midterms), at the Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford.
