Join us tomorrow for our Annual Senior Stroll in celebration of the Willow Class of 2023! Graduates will process in decorated vehicles through the neighborhoods surrounding our campuses beginning at 1pm. We hope you can help us cheer on our newest Willow Alumni!
The Willow School has again been named an "Exemplary School" by the Arts Schools Network. Ms. Neelis, our K-12 Arts Director, successfully completed the designation process on behalf of our amazing, talented student artists and staff. We are thrilled to share this honor with 13 schools nationwide who will be celebrated this fall. Arts Schools Network is a collective group of arts leaders and thought partners joined together in their pursuit to be valuable contributors in the arts learning ecosystem. Membership includes leaders from K-12 arts schools, universities, colleges, organizations and individual members from across the country. Willow first received the designation in 2014.

We all wish them well as they officially graduate next week!
