Community Service, Clubs and School Traditions

Community Service

To promote a sense of responsibility, community and leadership, the School encourages all students to participate in school service activities and service to the community. By the time a class celebrates Commencement, they have an average of over 7,000 hours of community service.
 
In the Upper School, service to the school community and outside community service are required for graduation. Each grade is assigned a school service task to be completed once or twice a cycle during a non-academic period.

The Parents Association and the faculty lead by example and frequently engage in local service projects. Every year, the Parents Association organizes a School-wide Soup Bowl Day to benefit the Samaritan Center, and the student-driven Community Service Club organizes a fall food drive, a Christmas tree angel gift drive and a blood Drive among others. 

In the past students have received many service awards from organizations including Guardian Ad Litem, Habitat for Humanity, Hibiscus House, the Samaritan Center and others.

We celebrate Pirate Pride all year long.

At Saint Edward’s, traditions aren’t just events – they’re experiences your family will remember for years to come. Over the years, these cherished traditions have become a defining part of our school culture.

From time-honored ceremonies to creative celebrations, these moments bring the community together, foster meaningful connections and create core memories that you and your child will carry long after your Saint Edward’s journey. Here, your family doesn’t just witness traditions – you’re part of them.

    • ABC (Anything But Cars) Day marks seniors’ final day with students sporting college shirts and parading in creative vehicles.

    • Grandparents Day, celebrated since 1989, honors the special bond between students and their grandparents.

    • Since 2001, Senior Buddies pairs seniors with first graders for meaningful bonding activities throughout the school year.

    • Since 1973, Homecoming has united Saint Edward’s alumni, students, and families in celebration and school spirit.

As part of the School’s mission to focus on the whole child, the academic, arts and athletic offerings are supplemented by clubs and enrichment programs which are organized during the school day in the Middle and Upper Schools and after school in the Lower School. Faculty members advise and coordinate the clubs but the nature and offering of clubs each semester is student-driven. If a student wants to organize a new club based on an interest they share with a group of friends, s/he simply needs to find a faculty member willing to sponsor the club.
