Student Life

Each new student is paired up with a “Big Sister” or "Twin Sister" who welcomes her to Marlborough and helps orient her to her new school.

An annual event since 1954, Marlborough students and their dads (or favorite father-figures) enjoy a day filled with food and friendly competition.

A carnival-like atmosphere takes over the School each Halloween as students, teachers, and administrators turn out in costume for a parade and contest.

Before they leave the Middle School, 9th graders select their Class Colors and Song. They carry the colors with them through Upper School and sing their song at various School celebrations.

To celebrate their completion of Middle School, 9th graders are given a Marlborough School pin at a special ceremony at the end of the year.

10th Grade students create and present a banner embodying the best characteristics of their class. The banner moves with them and is then proudly displayed in the Senior Lounge when the class becomes seniors.

Marking the passage into their final school year, juniors are presented their School rings by seniors in a formal evening ceremony. The design of Marlborough’s school ring dates back to the early 1920s.

Each senior class selects and presents a class mascot--a fictional figure that symbolizes the identity of the graduates. Recent mascots have included Madeline, the Pink Panther, Wonder Woman, Curious George, and the Lorax.
