Congratulations to the athletes who were named to the All-MIAA Conference for exceptional performance during the winter 2025-2026 season.

Boys in Middle School hooped it up at the annual Hoops for Habitat extravaganza, participating in a 3x3 basketball tournament, a hula hoop competition, and service learning activities.

Students engaged in a drawing demonstration and an interactive “bloopers” segment during Terri Libenson's visit to Middle School assembly. The author of the “Emmie & Friends” book series shared her career journey and her creative process.

As the accomplished Gilman alumnus delivered the 44th Cotton Lecture to Upper School students, faculty, and staff, Gaurab Bansal '96 described his non-traditional career path — underscoring the importance of reinvention and healthy risk-taking.

Writing a 15- to 20-page, college-level, critical essay — on top of an already rigorous academic schedule that includes an English class — isn’t for everyone. But for a handful of Gilman students each year beginning in 2019 when Honors Paper in English became an Upper School elective, it proves to be a worthwhile endeavor.

Congratulations to Victor Shi ’29, Peter Yang ’26, and Roger Huang ’29, who achieved Honorable Mention in the University of Maryland High School Math Competition, awarded to top-scoring students. Additionally, Shi was the highest scorer among all Baltimore City competitors. 

Ten Upper School boys volunteered to guide third graders in a mystery-themed book club through thoughtful discussions and a scavenger hunt featuring secret messages written in invisible ink and hidden throughout the building. One senior called it “a full-circle moment.”

Award-winning author Garth Greenwell was the guest speaker at the annual Mountcastle Lecture on January 28. Greenwell spoke on the “relationship between art and life and what it means to dedicate your life to art, and the relationship between art and failure.”

The Silent Night tradition returned this year with a new twist, as Gilman’s One Love Club spread awareness and provided resources about teen dating violence in the lobby before the big game.
