Rectory is preparing a magazine-style publication to celebrate its Centennial, and we are seeking your personal narratives on what Rectory was like when you were on campus.  Read some stories below, and then please send us your memories. 

Sharing our stories. Sharing our lives.

Alum from various classes reflect on their MELP experiences. Whether in March or May, students eagerly anticipate the start of the annual Experiential Learning Program (MELP). Providing students with hands-on learning experiences outside of the traditional classroom, each MELP course offers students and teachers alike a chance to study an interest or a passion.It’s all about nurturing our natural curiosities and realizing that learning is all around us.

But perhaps the greatest reward of all is the feeling of making a contribution to the learning experience of so many young people."
