Just under a month to go! Alumni are invited to join us at Buckley's Spring Fling Golf & Tennis Tournament on Thursday, May 9 from 9:00am - 4:00pm at Old Westbury Golf & Country Club. https://e.givesmart.com/events/Bkz/

This event is also open to the wider community making it a great opportunity to enjoy rare access to a renowned members-only club with friends, family, or colleagues.

Old Westbury Golf & Country Club is a golfer's paradise! Golf Digest ranked the course in the top 50 during the 2023-24 season, and is among the metropolitan area’s most challenging, blending natural elevation changes with an abundance of mature trees and spectacular panoramic views. Purchase a discounted foursome, or join us as an individual golfer for your chance to play this renowned members-only course!

Is tennis your sport? Check out Old Westbury's newly renovated Har-Tru tennis courts and join us for a day of coaching and mixed play as the club's pros and hitters keep you on your toes.

Want to participate, but not a tennis player or golfer? No problem! Old Westbury will also teach pickleball lessons for those that are ready to hop on the hottest new sports trend. Bring your own equipment or pick up a paddle at the club and see what everyone is raving about!

Want to spend time with your Buckley friends in a beautiful setting with delicious food? Purchase a ticket to relax in the Social Room. We'll have games, prizes, and plenty of space to enjoy each other's company and see all that Old Westbury Golf & Country Club has to offer.

All Spring Fling guests are invited to join us for brunch from 9:00 am to 10:00 am on the covered patio, and for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres as we hand out awards for the day on the South Patio and West Bar.

Can't attend and still want to support the school you love? Purchase a Journal Ad for our digital journal which will be displayed throughout the day at the clubhouse! Not only will guests see your enthusiastic support of the school, but the digital journal will also be emailed to every member of the Buckley community's contact list, expanding the reach of your ad across the country to alumni, past parents, and friends of the school.

Thank you!

Dear Buckley Alumni, The past few months have been challenging for us all as we have adjusted to keep us all safe! In doing so, we have also reimagined ways to honor and celebrate our graduates from Buckley this year given some of the changes. We are asking Buckley alumni to send messages of encoura...

Thank you to all of our Buckley Alumnae who participated in our first-ever virtual Buckley Women's History Celebration assembly! We received video submissions from the class of 1954 - 2012.

Look out for the special link with a video montage tomorrow. The video will be watched by all the students from 1st - 8th grade.

Only two more days until Commencement 2020!

The second-to-last post in our Commencement Series features the graduating classes of 1955, 1956, 1980, 1981 (9th and 8th grades!), 2005 and 2006.

Buckley phased out 9th grade in 1982, and the 1982 yearbook only included a photo of the graduating 8th graders – which is why we’ve included the 8th grade photo of the 9th grade class of 1982 from their 8th grade year in 1981 in this post.

Classes of 1981 and 1982 – do you remember your commencement ceremony? What was it like? Tell us in the comments!

Counting down – five days until Commencement 2020!

Today we’re featuring the classes of 1953, 1978, and 2003 – check out their 8th grade photos!

Our class photos from the 1970s seem to be shot in different locations over the years, and this one is particularly interesting. Does anyone from the Class of ’78 know where this shot was taken, or how the location was selected? Did your class determine where your senior photo would take place, or did you show up and smile? Tell us your memories in the comments!

Today marks one week until we wrap our Commencement Series on Friday, July 17th and celebrate the achievements of the BCDS Graduating Class of 2020 on Saturday, July 18th!

Check out these shots of the graduating classes of 1952, 1977, and 2002. We heard from Joseph Camerata ’02 in the latest issue of the Spotlight, announcing happy news of the newest addition to his family – the birth of son Joseph Frederick Camerata on January 10, 2020. Congratulations!
