The Bush School

"Just as there has never been one way to be or to thrive as a Bush student, so too is there no one way to make your impact, your mark, your contribution to the world. More than ever, your community and your world need your talents, your gifts, and the skills you have developed at Bush, but more than anything, the world needs your passionate commitment and care for contributing to the communities of which you are a part." - Head of School Sarah Smith

It is hard to believe it has already been nearly one week since Commencement 2026. On Sunday, June 7, the Bush Class of 2026 graduated seventy-two students in front of an enthusiastic crowd of family, friends, faculty, staff, and peers at the Seattle Convention Center | Summit. Photos from end-of-year events will be sent to Class of 2026 families later this month, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Last Saturday, May 30, 160 members of the Bush community came together for the Homestretch 5K at Magnuson Park, including families from every division, alums, and faculty and staff.

The event included many moments of celebration, connection, and family fun, as participants in both the 5K and 400-meter dash crossed the finish line and were adorned with medals. Onlookers cheered on runners, and many race finishers circled back to run with their friends and families, ensuring they completed the course hand in hand.

We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s 5K!
