Congratulations to Saara Bhanji '03, our 2020 Alumnae Special Achiever. Saara is the founder of AWARE: the Association of Women’s Action, Research and Empowerment. #YHSAlum

Our alumnae and staff basketball game has become a bit of a tradition on Alumnae Day. So, we thought we would put a little video together in the spirit of the game - with a special guest this year - our new mascot, Teggy the Tiger! #YHSAlum #myYHS

Today we celebrate Founders' Day. York House first opened its doors in 1932. Ahead of their time, our seven founding women were independent thinkers and risk-takers. They were courageous visionaries who were committed to providing a well-rounded, values-based education that inspires girls to live happy, meaningful, and purposeful lives. Happy 88th Birthday, York House! #myYHS #YHSAlum

Lauren, Head Girl, was inspired by Dr. Henry's fearless leadership during COVID-19. She had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Henry for an exclusive interview. Great job, Lauren! And thank you for keeping us safe, Dr. Henry! #YHSInThisTogether #myYHS #BeKindBeCalmBeSafe #DrBonnieHenry #BonnieHenry #ThanksHealthHeroes
