Head of School Mark Anderson P’27 kicked off Opening Assembly 🎉 first with a few selfies with the Class of 2027 and the crowd; then he reminded new and returning students that they belong here, and that the power of our community comes from being kind to one another and doing the right thing. “I know it’s going to be a great year!” said Mr. Anderson, before passing the mic to several Upper School student leaders, who took turns offering advice and inspiration for the 2026–27 school year.
A common theme was the importance of being present in the “now” and appreciating both the good moments and the challenging ones, knowing that each (like this morning’s rain) will eventually pass — wise reflections that even the adults in the room could appreciate!
Up next: Color Sorting! Stay tuned! 💜💛

To celebrate the start of Wheeler’s 139th year, our community came together this morning for one of our favorite school traditions: Opening Assembly! 💜💛
In years past, seniors have walked into Miller Quad alongside our kindergarten and 1st-grade students before gathering on the stairs of the Nulman Lewis Student Center to kick off this beloved tradition. This year, the weather called for a change of plans, but the tradition carried on!
Instead, the Class of 2027 walked through Miller Quad with their younger buddies and into Madden Gym, where the entire Wheeler community was waiting, including, for the first time, senior parents who joined this special tradition.
Scroll through for lots of heartwarming moments from this morning 💞! You can also head to our Facebook page to watch the livestream and check out our Instagram and Facebook Stories for video clips.
We’ll be sharing more moments from Opening Assembly throughout the day, with plenty more photos and a full video of the procession and assembly coming to our website in the days ahead. #GoPurple #GoGold #GoWheeler #OneWheeler
