Today we’d like to thank the Bulls behind the scenes who help Holderness succeed, especially at this busy time of year. From Commencement to Reunion, a team of departments - Buildings & Grounds, Dining Services, Housekeeping, Technology and others - join forces to make sure so many events run smoothly and the campus looks its absolute best. We’re so grateful for the work they do for Holderness - not just in this busy season, but all year long.

From nervous first days on campus to crossing the crest at Commencement, your years here were filled with the moments that make memories: cheering under the lights, Tenney Ball, Barton Olympics, relaxing in the signature blue adirondack chairs, Out Back trips, Chapel talks, dorm hang-ins, for some brave students–a cold plunge in the pond, and hearing “H-O-L, D-E-R, N-E-S-S” echo across campus one more time.

You showed up for each other in classrooms, on fields, stages, trails, mountains, and in the moments in between. You learned that growth comes through challenge, that community matters, and that the people beside you help shape who you become.

No matter where life takes you next, Holderness will always be part of you. Once a Bull, always a Bull. 🤍💙
