Letter from the editors:

Dear readers,

The St. Marker is back for the 2024-2025 academic year with our Fall Issue! We are excited to publish our very first issue of the year with such a bounty of interesting topics to share. Just a note to the new readers (or returning readers who need a fresh reminder): St. Marker is a newspaper unique for featuring student voices and opinions on community events inside and outside the school.

As we are already halfway into October, a lot of new events and discussions have taken place. In the Fall issue, you can find articles reflecting the changes in the school environment, such as student handbook revisions, introductions to new faculty members and Penn fellows, and updates on the schedule changes. We also spotlight Dr. Hills, our new head of school, and the Australian exchange students through an exclusive interview as they share their experiences at St. Mark’s. Additionally, we have reflected on students’ opinions on current events featuring perspectives on the presidential debate and the latest Gray Colloquium speech. Make sure to check them out!

Happy family weekend and we wish you the best for your new academic year!

Best, 

The St. Marker Editorial Team
