8th Grade Career Day

8th Grade Career Day

On Thursday, April 21, the Class of 2026 participated in the annual 8th Grade Career Day, which took place at three different sites: Harvard Medical School, Northeastern University Law School or Solid Biosciences.

Students who visited Harvard Medical School took part in a hands-on laboratory clinic. The group at Northeastern University School of Law met faculty, including Professor Stevie Leahy P25, 26, and law students in an interactive panel discussion. A third group went to Solid Biosciences in Cambridge to learn about research into genetic diseases where they met with Annie Ganot P26, co-founder and head of Patient Advocacy. A highlight of their trip was extracting DNA from strawberries.

When the 8th graders returned to school, they were treated to a program led by Dana Hall’s Director of College Counseling Cara Hanig.
