Alumni at Laurel Hill School: Celebrating Our Lower School Graduates
At Laurel Hill School, we take immense pride in our Kindergarten through 5th Grade Lower School alumni. Our graduates are well-prepared to transition into the Upper School, carrying with them a strong foundation of academic excellence, personal growth, and community values.
Transitioning to Upper School
Graduating from the Lower School marks an important milestone for our students. As they move into the Upper School, they are equipped with the skills and confidence needed to tackle new academic challenges and opportunities. The comprehensive student plan at Laurel Hill ensures that each child progresses at his/her own pace, achieving both personal and academic success. Our graduates enter the Upper School ready to embrace a curriculum that continues to be responsive to different levels of development in basic skills and to different student learning styles.
Academic Excellence and Honors
Laurel Hill School is committed to recognizing and celebrating the academic achievements of our students. In the Lower School, students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance and citizenship are honored through various accolades:
Honor & Merit Rolls: Fifth grade and older students are recognized for their excellence in academic accomplishment and citizenship by earning honor or merit placement each trimester. This recognition motivates students to strive for their best and celebrates their hard work and dedication.
Honor Society: Students qualify for induction into the Honor Society by earning honor or merit placement twice during the school year and by also electing to complete an Honor Society Thesis. This thesis is developed under the supervision of a teacher of the student’s choice, encouraging in-depth research and a commitment to scholarly excellence.

The relationships and experiences our students build during their time in the Lower School stay with them as they move on to new academic and personal adventures.
