One of the first initiatives of Maret’s new strategic plan, Advancing with Purpose, Maret's new “portrait of a graduate” articulates the traits and skills the school strives to develop in students throughout their journey here, starting in kindergarten and continuing through senior year. 

Graduating senior Ethan Michel ’26 was one of five Washington, DC students to be named a Milken Scholar this year. The scholarship program, which includes a $10,000 award and lifelong career support, recognizes students for their academic performance, leadership, community service, and perseverance in the face of challenges.

It was a perfect day at 3000 Cathedral Avenue. Under sunny skies and before cheering families and faculty, the Maret Class of 2026 accepted their diplomas and stepped into their futures.

Opening day at Barrett Fields was more than just a game day; it was the realization of a decades-long dream. It was a proud moment when the Frogs took to their new home turf for the first time, marking a historic chapter for Maret athletics.

Maret’s 50th All School Art Exhibition wowed crowds with spectacular art, imaginative power, and thoughtful curation. The room hummed with excitement at the opening reception on May 20, as students and Visual Arts faculty circulated among family and friends to talk about the art on display. 

How do you break down a “fixed” system? That was the question underlying this year’s Middle School Day of Dialogue, which featured a screening of the award-winning documentary, Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round, and a discussion with filmmaker Ilana Trachtman.

Maret is proud to announce the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, Stephen Belber ’85 and Cyrus Beschloss ’15.
