In our previous post, we featured Valedictorian Caroline Churney's graduation speech that she delivered earlier this month. The Montrose community also had the privilege to hear from this year's commencement speaker, Dr. Jehanna Peerzada '86, parent of Julie Baker '23. In the spring, Dr. Peerzada visited the M&M Building to talk to students about her career experience in medicine. At graduation, she inspired the class of 2019 with the many lessons she has learned over the years. Dr. Peerzada reminded us that following our dreams does not always mean that we will walk upon a clear, straight...

Pomp and Circumstance resounded across Miracle Field again as the Montrose community gathered to celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2019. Thirty five women graced onto the stage with shining caps and gowns, stunning red heels, and bright smiles. Friends and family snapped photos and, perhaps, shed a few tears during the ceremony. Additionally, the entire student body was in attendance, a new aspect to Montrose graduations that brought our sisterhood together for one last time with the seniors. In reflection of this special event, we congratulate the Class of 2019 and wish them a happy summer. Valedictorian:...

Meanwhile, across the pond, the United Kingdom continues to experience one of the...

When I first heard about Michelle Obama’s Becoming, my reaction was, “Michelle Obama wrote a book! She’s so cool. I’m totally buying this.” I thought it would be about her life as FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States) and how her life is different now that she is no longer in the White House. But as I read the introduction, I realized that it was about so much more.   In her book, Michelle Obama uses her voice to tell us her "story of becoming," while also asking us about “how we become”(421).   Michelle starts Becoming with her childhood in a small apartment...
