Sloan Carruth was exuberant. “When all the awards were announced, I was with friends and started jumping around and freaking out,” she said. It was May 2021, and Carruth had just found out she won the first VEX Robotics World Championship award that St. George’s has ever received. She was an eighth-grader at the time and is now a freshman. “They called out my team number first, and...

Junior Mariah Nellessen has experienced a different schedule for each of the past four years. In fact, anyone who has been attending St. George’s for that long has. In 2018-19, the schedule had three periods before lunch, a 50-minute lunch block, a fourth period, and then x-block from 2:30-3:15. But all that ended in March of 2020, when the school went remote and students attended class in 30-minute...

Back in March of 2020, along with many other schools, St. George’s Collierville campus shut down due to the safety and health concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic that...

How do you hold a school dance during a global pandemic? You don’t. At least, that’s what many other Memphis-area schools have decided. But not St. George’s. On Saturday, Sept. 18, St. George’s will host its first dance since September of 2019, a homecoming dance at the Lightman Tennis Center put on by student government. Meanwhile, Covid cases in Shelby County have reached the same...

Freshman Izzy Belcher was disappointed. On Sept. 2, with just about two weeks to go until homecoming, she found out that she couldn’t bring her friend from a different school to the dance. Because of Covid, the administration had decided that outside guests were not allowed to attend.

What would you do if it poured down rain on your last day of school? Well, if you’re anything like the St. George’s class of 2021 on April 29, your day plan would include a mud-filled kickball game, a cleansing dip in the lake, followed by a party in the pool. Kickball – a time-honored St. George’s tradition – took place during the lunch period after many seniors finished their provided...
