Learning inside the classroom and out

At WT, learning happens both in and out of the classroom. Through City as Our Campus, students gain exposure to our city to become familiar with its culture and history while interacting with members of the community to understand diverse viewpoints and stories. This fall, we welcomed various partners into our classrooms, like the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center and sushi chef, Terra Lee Madden. Students also explored the city via double-decker bus and visited places like ALCOSAN, University of Pittsburgh’s Nationality Rooms, and the Carnegie Museum of Art.

WT’s Reunion 2022 is in the books and it brought together alums from across generations to engage with students, school leadership, and one another. After two years of the pandemic, it was wonderful to be fully back in person, celebrating class years ending in 0’s, 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, 6’s, and 7’s! We hope all of our alums had a SUPER time!

Fech, Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Wellness, Jessica Walton, and Assistant Head for Strategy and Academics, Adam Nye to review WT’s work in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the implementation of the new DEI Action Plan a Opportunities for alums to return to the classroom and attend Upper School classes a Then and Now Luncheon for alums celebrating their 50th+ Reunions a A Hard Hat Tour of the new Joan Clark Davis Center for Interdisciplinary Learning a Welcome Back Cocktail Party for All Alums a Alums of Color Affinity Group Brunch a City as Our Campus Experience at the Mattress Factory, hosted by Mary Martin ‘88
