This summer, The Pingry School unveiled two new displays. The first, located just inside the main clock tower entrance, welcomes students, staff, and visitors to the school and highlights the school’s Honor Code. The second, larger display is situated inside the arts entrance and celebrates the school's Achievement in the Arts Award.
Pingry Flashes Back
Not surprisingly, over the course of more than 150 years of Pingry history, the School has amassed some fascinating artifacts. From antique printing blocks to Dr. Pingry’s handwritten documents to school catalogues from the 1800s, they live in the Pingry School Archives.
Each month, we take pleasure in showcasing some of the more compelling items here, and "flashing back" to a bit of Pingry history. So, come on in and join us in a "virtual" visit to The Pingry School Archives.
A Virtual Visit to the Archives...
During this summer’s reorganization of the technology department, a number of interesting artifacts from Pingry's early internet days were unearthed. One of those, tucked away in a long-forgotten box, was a 1997 mouse pad celebrating an early version of the Pingry School website.
The Pingry School Archives not only collects artifacts from the school’s long and storied history but is also charged with gathering materials from the school’s current events, such as the year's Spring Intensives program...
