On Monday, February 24th, Gunston basketball teams gathered for Winter Sports Awards to celebrate a hard fought season. This year's iteration of the basketball program featured an expansion to include junior varsity girls. The team featured eleven student-athletes that honed their skills throughout the year to prepare them for potential varsity playing time in the future.
Gunston Alumna Joey Smith ’18 (pictured right #12) was recently recognized by the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC)’s for her outstanding athletic performance during week one of the 2020 Lacrosse season.
International students and Gunston staff gathered recently for a traditional "hot pot" dinner. Hot pot, or hotpot (simplified Chinese: 火锅; pinyin: huǒguō), is a popular Chinese cooking method, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock or broth on an induction burner.
Gunston's Model United Nations team traveled to Washington D.C. last weekend to attend the 57th annual North American Invitational Model United Nations Conference (NAIMUN). Gunston's Model UN members represented various countries and participated in debates about climate change, cyber security, refugees, and many other important world issues.
On February 28, Gunston continued its annual tradition of a school-wide, student-led Global Awareness Day featuring a diverse array of interactive workshops and presentations designed to encourage students to challenge their perspectives, reflect upon their values and identity, and examine their relationship with the world around them, with the ultimate goal of helping them to prepare for the unique demands of a globalized economy.
The Chesapeake Watershed Semester (CWS) at the Gunston School is pleased to announce the appointment of Emily Beck to the role of full-time director, and Zack Hoisington has joined CWS as the environmental science teacher and environmental projects coordinator.
