Boys Lacrosse, X-Term 

 

What is your favorite “Gunn Moment”?
My favorite Gunn moment was when the boys lacrosse team won two cups in one day this past spring: the Colonial Cup (our lacrosse championship) and the Canterbury Cup (the cup with our rival school). 

 

Move-in day was the day I realized Gunn was the place for me. As soon as I walked on campus, I was welcomed by all students and faculty. First days are very nerve wracking and the warm, welcoming community got rid of my nerves. 

 

My best piece of advice for a student going through the admissions process is be yourself. Here at Gunn, being your authentic self is very important.

My favorite “Gunn Moment” was my first playoff hockey game at home. There was so much energy at the rink, it was awesome to win the first round of the playoffs in the Linen. 

 

I knew Gunn was the place for me after walking around on my tour and seeing the tight community of students and faculty. 

 

Just be yourself and get ready for the best years of your life. 

Baseball (Captain), X-term

 

Sophomore year, when I played basketball and we made a championship run.

 

After talking to Coach Trundy, and I realized the faith he had in me and what I could do at the school, athletically and academically.

 

Ask a lot of questions. Don’t be afraid to reach out.

What is your favorite “Gunn Moment”?

My favorite “Gunn Moment” has been finding and rehiding the Stray Shot. It's an ongoing tradition of hiding a cannonball around our campus, leaving clues for others to find. My friends and I searched for many months and ultimately found the cannonball in fall of 2022 and continued on the tradition by rehiding it in spring 2023 as well as presenting our search at Prize Night. 

 

When did you realize Gunn was the place for you?

My family has always had a very strong connection to Gunn, as many of them went to Gunn as well as me. Growning up, I always knew I would want to continue in their footsteps and attend Gunn as well. I’ve always known Gunn would be the place for me and this school has exceeded my expectations. 

 

What is your best piece of advice for a student going through the admissions process?

Involve yourself in as much as you can and do your best to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Try new things and put effort into making new friends.

My favorite “Gunn Moment” is the first day getting back to campus. I enjoy meeting all the new students and teachers as well as seeing friends I do not get to see over the summer. There is a big barbecue and a lot of really fun group activities, like Spikeball.

 

I realized Gunn was for me when I saw the new arts building, TPACC. I enjoy the arts and seeing that Gunn puts a lot of effort into not just the academics but the arts as well excited me. I enjoy how there is something for everyone here.  

 

The best piece of advice I could give to a student is to be calm. The admissions team is kind and they love when you can just be yourself.

My favorite Gunn memory would definitely be the pep rally last year. The energy and school spirit was unmatched. 

 

The moment I stepped on campus my freshman year. Orientation week was long but very supportive, and I realized quickly how special our community is. 

 

Be friendly with everyone and be open-minded. From the moment you step on campus, try new things, meet new people, get out of your comfort zone because you won’t regret it. Kindness and support goes a long way and is what our community is built on.
