Pilgrim School

We held our annual End-of-Year Employee Luncheon to celebrate an incredible school year and reflect on everything we've accomplished together.

Beyond the food and the laughs, the highlight of the afternoon was honoring the incredible milestones of our long-term employees celebrating their Years of Service! Thank you for your dedication and the care you pour into our students year after year.

Wishing our entire Panther community an amazing and restful summer! See you in the fall!

Bravo students! Your performances during Spring Sing today were impressive and so entertaining. Your hard work throughout the year shone through. Thank you to Ms. B. Miller for your work with our students. What an amazing show!

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Last night's commencement was very special. You represent the very best of Pilgrim School, and we couldn't be prouder. Thank you to all the teachers who the students chose to speak about our graduates, your words were thoughtful and meaningful.

We can't wait to hear about the incredible things you'll be doing at college and beyond!

The Elementary Dance program held its ICONS dance performance in Stuart Hall. Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz, Pom, Ballet; students, what an incredible show! Your hard work all year shone through your exceptional performances!

5th Grade students recently concluded their Reading and Writing units on Fantasy in spectacular fashion. To celebrate their hard work, we hosted our 3rd Annual Festival of Fantasy—a vibrant showcase where students officially became published authors.

Visitors were treated to custom-designed posters, hand-crafted book swag (including limited-edition stickers and bookmarks), and, most importantly, incredible original fantasy stories. We are so proud of our students for putting their creativity on full display and inspiring their families and peers.

In 4th Grade, the “History Book” is the culminating California history project, integrating reading, writing, social studies, art, and social justice.

The overall focus of the unit and culminating investigation is the question, "How can we tell the story of our state [California]?"

Each student developed their own investigation question under the umbrella question and then developed their book around their personal interests in California history, and then presented their findings to their families and classmates.

We held our spring Sports Banquet this past Wednesday. We are so proud of our student-athletes; over 75% of our students participated in Panther athletics this year. Go Panthers! Thank you to all of our coaches for the meaningful seasons and experiences (wins, losses, playoffs, and championships!!) you provided for our student-athletes.

We can’t wait to see their progress over next school year!

Yesterday, we came together as a whole community for the final time this year for our Yearbook Dedication and Awards Ceremony, and it was a truly joyful and uplifting day.

We began by celebrating this year’s Yearbook Dedication to Ms. Amanda Stewart, one of our beloved fifth-grade teachers. Our yearbook is created by a class of secondary students who thoughtfully select the honoree through a confidential voting process.

Our Awards Ceremony highlighted the hard work, academic achievement, leadership, and accomplishments of our students. The energy throughout the school was inspiring and served as a powerful reminder of why we do this work each day.

Juniors and Seniors in the Aerospace class went on a private tour of SpaceX, exploring rocket fabrication and seeing how physics and engineering manifest in real life!

🎉🎉 Congratulations to Pilgrim’s Middle School Debate Team on an outstanding performance at the Golden State Debate League Championships! 🎉 🎉

We are proud to share that Asa and Ethan were ranked the 5th best team overall, with Asa also earning recognition as the 4th best speaker and Ira placing 5th individually. As a team, Pilgrim placed 3rd overall among competing schools—an impressive accomplishment!

These results reflect the dedication, preparation, and intellectual rigor our students bring to debate, as well as the commitment of our coaches who challenge and support them every step of the way.

We are incredibly proud of our middle school debaters for representing Pilgrim with excellence! Go Pilgrim! 🏆
