Celebrating National Women and Girls in Sports Day
On this National Women and Girls in Sports Day, we proudly recognize our WFS girls’ basketball program.
In their victory over St. Mark’s HS on January 24, the WFS girls’ program reached 800 all-time wins. This is a testament to decades of dedication and teamwork built by generations of players, coaches, and families.
At their game against St. Andrew's, the girls' team was cheered on by former coach Carolyn Connors ’81 (far right), the all-time winningest coach in program history with 113 career wins; Kristi Kerrigan ’08 (middle), one of just five 1,000-point scorers in girls’ program history; and Mike Anderson ’08, whose great-grandmother Frances Hullihen ’28 remains the program’s all-time leading scorer nearly a century later. Hullihen scored 1,350 career points, averaging an incredible 28.5 points per game, and a single-game high of 63 points — a record that still stands nearly a century later.
Peace posters from the WFS Class of 2038 were on display as part of the 2026 Visionary Peace Youth Art Exhibition with Pacem in Terris at the Wilmington Library!
Aubrey Ashman ’26, Abigail Thurlow ’26, Easton Martinenza ’27, Emma Furman ’28, Bayan Katirai ’29, and Will Van Druff ’29 spent the weekend in Providence, Rhode Island with chaperones Megan Hegenbarth and Katie Wolf Martinenza ’99 at the Quaker Youth Leadership Conference (QYLC).
Our WFS Chamber Singers joined choirs from Tower Hill, Sanford, and Tatnall for a full day of music-making at the annual Four School Choir collaboration—an experience of learning, rehearsal, and shared artistry.
Our 8th-grade Chinese students recently completed a unit on dining culture and brought their learning to life with a visit to LeShio Restaurant in Wilmington!
The WFS Upper School Student-Run Production is an annual tradition in which students are chosen to create, direct, and produce (and often write) their own vision for the stage.
A huge thank you to our incredible Grounds and Building Services team for their tireless work over the past three days—morning and night—clearing snow and making sure our campus is accessible for members of our community. Your dedication, care, and behind-the-scenes efforts make a real difference!
