A variety of school traditions mark the BB&N calendar at the Upper School—some old, some new, some part of the academic fabric of the school, others part of the social fabric. These traditions include:
- Senior Skits – The gloves come off as seniors “roast” faculty members, and are themselves “roasted” right back at this playful, artful, and irreverent end-of-year event.
- Homecoming – Football and a host of other sports, pageantry, pep rally spirit, and some killer tailgate chow.
- Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast – A schoolwide celebratory feast featuring guest speakers and artists.
- Head of the Charles – Join the festivities at BB&N’s Eliot Bridge boathouse, an enviable venue from which to watch—or compete in—the world’s largest rowing regatta, held each October on the Charles River.
- Junior Profile – A legendary milepost in the English Department curriculum, in which Juniors write in-depth profiles of some person—rich or poor, famous or not—who intrigues them, diving beneath surface and stereotype to reveal depth of character.
- Lifer Party – As their final BB&N year draws to a close, seniors who began their BB&N journey at the Morse Building (Beginner-Grade 1) gather at the Lower School campus for a nostalgic return to their BB&N roots
- Strawberry Night – The School’s signature reunion event held in early June each year introduces the newly graduated senior class to the alumni ranks.
