Each year, Bolles leaders host an all-school convocation during the first week of school to connect students on all four campuses and mark the beginning of the school year. The 2020-21 all-school convocation made school history by not only connecting students from four campuses, but by bringing together students from home classrooms and campuses all over the world.

Following welcome remarks from Bolles President and Head of School Tyler Hodges in the McGehee Auditorium on the Upper School San Jose Campus, students in George Hall on the Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Campus led the Pledge of Allegiance. A Bolles Way demonstration from the Bolles Lower School Whitehurst Campus ensued, followed by remarks on the Honor Code from Parker Auditorium on the Bolles Middle School Bartram Campus. Live from his home classroom, Bolles Student Council President Adarsh Aratikatla ’21 shared an encouraging talk with the student body. The convocation concluded with senior well wishes from two Whitehurst Pre-K students and some Bulldog spirit from Bolles cheerleaders.

Let’s make it a great year, Bulldogs!
