The Bolles Story
The Bolles Story, our 75th Anniversary Mission Statement
Every school has a story to tell, and the story of Bolles is now approaching its 75th year. The calendar year 2007 has been officially designated as our 75th Anniversary, beginning on January 5, 2007, and culminating on January 5, 2008, our 75th Birthday and Founder’s Day. This auspicious occasion affords us all a wonderful opportunity to tell our story as we reflect on our distinguished history, as we honor the accomplishments of our predecessors and as we celebrate what we have created together. Throughout our celebration as we celebrate our past history, we are simultaneously creating our current history, which will ultimately be woven into the mosaic of our future history.
Many events, especially Homecoming and various arts events are designed to celebrate our anniversary, as are all gatherings of alumni and parents. The most dramatic of these year-long events will surely be our 2007 75th Graduation Ceremony. In our 75 years Bolles has grown to a vast, far-flung family consisting of many diverse constituencies (student organizations, alumni organizations, parent organizations, service organizations, even community organizations) all of which exemplify the essence of our logo: TRADITION. SERVICE. DISTINCTION.
We welcome and invite all constituents to join arms and help us tell our story as we celebrate our past and, just as important, salute our future as we continue to tell the story of our journey toward our Centennial on January 5, 2033.
