Archer Celebrates Founders Day in Its 30th Year
Today, November 7, Archer celebrated Founders Day, the annual tradition that commemorates the day that Archer’s three founders came together over coffee at the Brentwood Country Mart and officially decided to start a girls’ school. In addition to speeches from Head of School Elizabeth English and two of Archer’s three founders, Dr. Diana Meehan and Megan Callaway, distinguished alumni were honored with Diana Awards, and the Class of 2026 received roses during the Senior Recognition Ceremony. In honor of Archer’s 30th anniversary this year, members from the Pioneer classes of ’01–’04 were invited to join the festivities on campus. A full recap of the event will be featured in next week’s In Case You Missed It newsletter on Friday, November 14.
