Most students go home for the summer and spend their time hanging out with friends, vacationing, or working a local job. For Jake Melcher '17, it's a little bit different. This summer, Melcher was named the 2015-'16 Firefighter of the Year at the annual Vista Fire Department Annual Inspection Dinner. At the VFD, he is now the top responder and the youngest recipient to receive this distinction.

Forman School welcomed 210 students from 24 U.S. states and 15 countries for the 2016-'17 academic year. 75 new students arrived on campus Thursday, September 8 and returning students attended registration on Saturday, September 10.

As the 2016 Paralympic Games begin on September 7 in Rio de Janeiro, a member of the Forman School community will grace the waters of Brazil. Laura Goodkind '04 recently secured a place on the United States rowing team.

Congratulations to photographer David Berg '05, who is currently showing his work at an exhibit titled Culture Shock at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts (CMCArts).
