Seattle Preparatory School

Classes are out for summer, but Panthers are still bringing the energy to campus! 🏃‍♀️ 💨

In between practices, Girls Basketball turned Peyton Plaza into an impromptu baseball diamond. Though we miss the buzz of the school year, we can always count on our Panthers to reanimate campus even in the summer! 🐾

Not a seat was empty in Our Lady of Montserrat Chapel this morning as we gathered to celebrate the 2025-26 school year the same way it began, with an all faculty and staff Mass and a shared meal.

Following the Mass, presided by Fr. Moodie, S.J., faculty and staff who are departing the Seattle Prep community were honored:

ASC9 cohort: Margaret Green '21, Camille Hardie '21, and Adora Pham '21
Anne Kramer
Darik Olson
Jasmine Pletcher
Khaisy Sengsavang
Elliot Weeks

We will dearly miss these men and women for others and extend our gratitude for their dedication in support of our Ignatian mission.💙 🐾

LINK Crew celebrates the end of the 2025-26 school year with a Panther Popsicle Party!🌞 🧊

As Panthers burst through the school doors at the ring of the last bell, they found their LINK Crew classmates handing out Otter Pops and cheering proudly, congratulating them on successfully completing another school year.

Way to go, Panthers! Have a wonderful summer!

P.S. Don't forget to read your summer reading selections ;)

On Sunday, June 7, Prep Kickoff welcomed the Class of 2030 to campus for an afternoon of fun and community building.

Led by upperclassmen, incoming Panthers broke the ice with:

🖊️ Kickoff Bingo - getting to know their new classmates while filling up their bingo cards.
🎤 Prep's Got Talent - team-building through coordinating a small performance for their peers.
🧑‍🎨 Class of 2023 Collaborative Mural - a chance for new Panthers to show their arts skills.
🏀 PE Games - working out those new school jitters through a series of games and challenges.

After the closing prayer service, parents of the Class of 2030 were invited to join their students in McHugh Gymnasium for a shared meal celebrating the start of this new chapter.

Be sure to give a warm welcome to our newest members of the Prep community!

From the classroom to the career field, the Prep network continues to inspire.

Recently, students had the opportunity to hear from four alumni from Ms. Pletcher’s inaugural Computer Science class as they shared insights into careers in technology. Through candid conversations about software engineering, artificial intelligence, college preparation, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, students gained a firsthand look at the many paths available to them after Prep.

Thank you to our Class of 2016 alums Ryan Blair, Thomas Mallick, Chase Stockwell and Chelsea Villanueva for returning to campus and helping the next generation of Panthers in tech.

Leadership means using your talents to solve problems and make a difference.

Recently, alumni have returned to campus to share their journeys with current students, including Vincent Bryan '82 whose innovative thinking led to the establishment of Whooshh Innovations and invention of the Salmon Cannon. Through sharing his story and an interactive demonstration of the cannon, students saw firsthand how curiosity, creativity, and leadership can make a big splash.

In the final weeks of the school year, leadership manifests all around the Prep campus. 🇺🇳

Most notably, Prep's annual Model United Nations simulation. Sophomores spend months in preparation and the result is a two-day showcase of collaboration, deliberate listening, and decision-making — all hallmarks of a good leader.

Alumna Jessica McDowall '23 embodies those qualities and gives back to the Prep community through her volunteer role as a Model UN moderator, mentoring students through the simulation.

Jessica's return is a reminder that the lessons learned at Prep continue long after graduation, inspiring alumni to give back and help shape future generations of leaders.💙 🐾

The Class of 2027 is settling into their "seniority!"👑

As the seniors exit, juniors excitedly claim their rightful place as the "big kids on campus." Marked by our annual Ignatian Leadership Conference, the Class of 2027 participated in workshops designed to help them understand their role as campus leaders through an Ignatian lens.

Alumna Nora Hendricks '15 kicked off the conference as students explored what it means to lead with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to being Men and Women for Others as they prepare to shape the year ahead at Prep.

Go Forth and Set the World on Fire! 🌎 ❤️‍🔥

Prep families, friends, and faculty packed a full house at Benaroya Hall to celebrate our graduates at graduation. Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We pray that they continue to live out Prep's mission as Men and Women for Others, wherever their paths may lead.

We will miss you, Class of 2026!💙 🐾
