In addition to the usual class walk-throughs and parent meetings, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School’s Upper School Family Weekend, Sept. 23–25, will include two special celebrations—the Installation of Head of School Karl J. Sjolund and the Rededication of the newly restored St. Andrew’s Chapel.
The weekend kicks off at 2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 23, with the installation ceremony of Karl J. Sjolund, the third head of school in the school’s 35-year history. The installation will be a Eucharist Service with the Rt. Rev. John C. Bauerschmidt, Bishop of Tennessee, celebrating and Sjolund preaching. Following the event there will be a reception. The public is invited.
Friday afternoon continues for the SAS community with a question and answer session with Dean of Students Laura Clay, Head of Upper School Kelley Black and student panelists. The Mountain Lion Invitational Cross Country meet begins at 4:30 p.m.
At 8 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, parents of senior students will gather to hear Sewanee Assistant Director of Financial Aid Denise Barry talk about the new FAFSA procedures and strategies for paying for college. The 9 a.m. all-parent meeting in McCrory Hall will be followed by a class walk-through. At noon, the varsity girls’ soccer team takes on Huntland High School. Senior players will be recognized before the game begins. The afternoon includes faculty office hours and a campus hike. Parents will enjoy a reception with the head of school and an evening Creative Expression Assembly, an opportunity to see some of the talent among the student body.
The Rt. Rev. Neil Alexander will preside at the Rededication of St. Andrew’s Chapel at 10:30 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 25. The Chapel recently underwent extensive restoration thanks to the generosity of more than 450 donors. St. Andrew’s-Sewanee welcomes the community to join in this service and celebration; seating may be limited.
