Welcome, & Welcome Back
The Circle buzzed with activity on Sunday, September 7, as both new and returning students arrived and moved into their dorms.

On Sunday, before saying their goodbyes, parents met with dormitory heads and advisors, and heard a brief address from Headmaster Temba Maqubela. New students attended orientation sessions and met their Sixth Former advisors, who help introduce them to Groton.
Despite the influx of students on Sunday, the campus had not been quiet the week before: Groton’s Sixth Formers arrived on campus last week, as did varsity athletes, who attended preseason training.

Groton extends a warm welcome to all new students and their families, and a "welcome back" to those returning to the Circle!
