Congratulations to Grauer Seniors MJ C. '26 and Chiara C. '26, whose leadership, work ethic, and example helped set the tone for the Varsity Beach Volleyball program. Their influence has played a key role in shaping the culture of the team and guiding the younger athletes.
From Horizon Prep Coach Aurora Salas: This season marked an exciting year of growth for the Horizon Prep Varsity Beach Volleyball team. Throughout the season, the team continued to develop both individually and collectively, showing resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to improving each day. The team was led by Grauer Seniors MJ C. '26 and Chiara C. '26, whose leadership, work ethic, and example helped set the tone for the program. Their influence has played a key role in shaping the culture of the team and guiding the younger athletes.
Facing a competitive schedule, the team was challenged by strong opponents week in and week out. These experiences have been invaluable, helping players grow in confidence, skill, and understanding of the game. With a young roster gaining meaningful experience, the future of Horizon Prep Beach Volleyball is bright. The lessons learned this season will continue to build a strong foundation for success in the years to come. I am proud of the team’s effort, growth, and the way they represented Horizon Prep this season. Congratulations to all of our Grauer and Horizon Prep team members on a great season!
What if the future of education isn't found in more technology or more complicated schools—but at the edge of the map? I've been invited into the SXSW EDU community voting process with a storytelling session. Will you take out 2 minutes to help?
Gardeners and children are verbs before they are nouns.
I boarded expecting five-star luxury. I disembarked with one of the clearest lessons on leadership and school culture I've encountered in decades.
Our Grauer Summer Enrichment campers have had lots of fun experiences on our campus this summer. The campers had an absolute blast and made memories that will last long after summer ends!
We celebrated the alumni who laid the foundation for the school’s success with our 1990s Class Reunion on July 25. We had a great turnout, and it was fun to reminisce and hear their stories.
The next great revolution in education won't change what students learn in class. It will change what we measure.
