Congratulations to our 8th graders on last night’s Advancement Ceremony! 🐏✝️

This milestone marks the end of an important chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one. We are proud of the growth, friendships, character, and Brotherhood this class has built during their Middle School years. While many will return to OP’s Upper School, some will move on to new schools, and we wish each of these young men continued success and joy wherever the next chapter leads.

Way to go, Rams! 🎓👏

The first of many graduation shots to come 🎓🐏

On Saturday, May 30, the Class of 2026 crossed the stage, turned their tassels, and filled campus with the kind of big smiles that say it all: joy, pride, relief, gratitude, and a whole lot of OP Brotherhood. Congratulations, graduates. More moments from this special day are on the way! ✝️

Last month, our Peer Mentor Program wrapped up the year with breakfast, conversation, and final goodbyes just a few days before our Seniors began their next chapter. 🐏

Throughout the year, mentors and mentees built connections through conversations about values, Brotherhood, and plenty of spirited sports competitions during CWP. It was a meaningful year of leadership, friendship, and OP Brotherhood in action.

And the next chapter is already beginning! Our rising Junior mentors will kick off next year’s program with their first training session in just a few days. ✝️
