Middle and Upper School Choral Concert
Scholarship Gala
A tradition for more than 40 years, the annual Scholarship Gala brings our community together for one memorable, exciting, and fun night in support of financial aid at Maret.
Plan to join us for this in-person event featuring our Silent and Live auction offerings, wonderful food and drink and an enchanted evening. This year's spring event will take advantage of our theme and outdoor surroundings, including a beautiful tented dinner on Maret's own back field.
MAY 14, 2022
Reserve your spot at the most enchanted evening of the year—join us on May 14! We want to make sure to order enough signature cocktails! Every seat in the house will be great, but as always, we will give you options to request who you'd like to sit with at dinner or select to sit at a class table.
