Wildwood School

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom announced is not freedom felt and that the distance between declaration and reality is measured in steps taken, in moments shared, in connections made.

At Wildwood School we live in that distance, propelled by a community that calls us forward to stay engaged and to commit to doing better and doing more.

We honor Juneteenth not by declaring that our work is done but by recommitting, as ever, to the listening, learning, action, and reflection that can create the conditions for all to thrive.

From bioelectronics and biomimicry to standing waves and ocean plastics, the middle and upper school Evening of Science offered students an opportunity to showcase a year of scientific exploration, experimentation, and discovery to our community. Through hands-on demonstrations and rotating presentations, attendees got to investigate everything from plant cell plasmolysis and light refraction to magnetic drag, the Magnus Effect, and the Butterfly Pea Test!

BY THE NUMBERS:
- 36 All League Honors
- 2 athletes voted League MVPs
- 4 teams with league championships

Our athletes gave us plenty to HOWL about at this year’s Upper School Sports Recognition Night! Congratulations to all of our Wolves, and swipe for some of our favorite highlights from throughout the year!

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, our Wolves are bringing home some incredible results! 8th grader Julia S. ‘30 captured the league golf title—for the second year in a row! Meanwhile, Jack S. ’31 and Jake L. ’30 claimed the league doubles championship in tennis. Not to be outdone—every member of our upper school “Water Wolves” swim team earned a medal at league finals, with Isaac R. ’27 winning the 100m freestyle and qualifying for CIF prelims! Let’s hear you howl for these incredible Wolves!

With classes complete, the Class of 2026 capped off their Wildwood experience with a retreat to Big Bear for one last opportunity to bond as one. Fresh air, frosty mornings, final connections, and a perfect time to reflect and reset before Senior Exhibitions and graduation! Congratulations to all of you!

From scraps to showstoppers! At this year’s Trashion Show, held in honor of Earth Day, 3rd–5th grade students turned everyday recyclables into runway-ready designs. Along the way, students put sustainability into action through design thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
“Trash “never looked so good!
