Centennial Events
Convocation
It was a special morning on Wednesday, August 30, as The Bush School kicked off its Centennial year with its fifty-first Convocation. Head of School Percy L. Abram, Board of Trustees President Lisa Carroll, Families Association President Sena Johnson, and a student speaker from each division welcomed a fresh-faced and buoyant crowd of parents, guardians, faculty, and staff to the first day of the one hundredth year of The Bush School, touching upon the historic nature of this year and honoring our “roots”, the theme of the academic year. Kindergarten students received pins recognizing them as the one hundredth Kindergarten class to enter Bush, while the Class of 2024 students were presented with pins acknowledging their graduation during the Centennial year. The entire community was introduced to the Centennial Wishing Tree and were invited to add their hopes for the next 100 years of The Bush School to its branches throughout the year. Convocation was established by former Head of School Les Larsen in 1972–his first year at Bush.
The Bush School is an independent, coeducational day school located in Seattle, WA enrolling 735 students in grades K–12. The mission of The Bush School is to spark in students of diverse backgrounds and talents a passion for learning, accomplishment, and contribution to their communities
