Congratulations to Cailin H. '30 for representing The Grauer School at the San Diego County Scripps Regional Spelling Bee on March 6. We were so proud to have Cailin represent our school!
From Paige Prindle, English Teacher:
Congratulations to Cailin H. '30 for representing The Grauer School at the San Diego County Scripps Regional Spelling Bee on March 6, at the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA in San Diego! Cailin correctly spelled the word "obsecration" in the first round, but was eliminated in the second round on the word "pratique." This year's Bee was especially difficult, with 67% of the participants eliminated in round one. (By comparison, only 21% of participants were eliminated in round one of last year's Bee!) We were so proud to have Cailin represent our school, especially because it's a family tradition since her brother Ciaran H. '30 represented Grauer in 2024!
It’s been a busy year. Summer is for slowing down. So exhale, settle in, set your phone aside for ten minutes, and let this story keep you company for a while. It begins in an attic full of old boxes we're clearing out, but it ends with a deceptive question every one of us is going to have to answer: What deserves to survive us?
The Grauer School was an event sponsor at EcoFest 2026, and hosted a booth at the event. Booth visitors picked up wildflower seeds that attract pollinators, and learned about The Grauer School's unique program as well as our sustainable activities and initiatives.
Grauer students flew to Sacramento for the day to support California Senate Bill SB 965. The bill eliminates the requirement of an in-person parent signature in order for a 16 or 17-year-old student to obtain a library card.
The Visual Arts Department submitted artwork from 45 Grauer students, plus the Yearbook team, to the San Diego County Fair this year. We would like to congratulate all of our students who were awarded with ribbons on their artwork pieces.
A summer note from Grauer School founder Stuart Grauer on the long journey behind The Way to Pancho's Kitchen—and an invitation to enjoy it not as an assignment, but as a beach read filled with stories of the natural world.
Congratulations to all of The Grauer School's 12th Grade graduates in the Class of 2026! The graduates received their diplomas in ceremonies on June 12, cheered on by their families and friends.
