Groton vs St. Marks

The sled pictured above is used for blocking and tracking drills on the football field.  Our team is done with their sled for the season; on Saturday, they, and other teams, will travel to Southborough, Massachusetts to conclude the fall season with contests against our long-time rival, St. Mark's School.  Groton and St. Mark's engage in one of the oldest rivalries among schools in the United States.  It's a great tradition!

Some of you will be involved in a contest of your own on Saturday when you take the SSAT.  I take this moment to wish you good luck.  Remember, one of the best techniques for doing well on tests is a good night's sleep.  Make sure you get your rest.

Lastly, we added more interview slots for the morning of Saturday, November 18, the last day of the fall term.  If you have not interviewed yet, please consider coming to campus if you can.  Our December schedule is getting full.  We will soon be posting interview slots for January, 2024.  You can register for an interview by completing the Candidate Profile.  After doing so, you will be able to schedule your interview online.  

All the best,
