VOLUME XXXII
Many Paths through Menlo
Summer 2026
COVER STORY
Many Paths through Menlo
There is no such thing as a map through Menlo, and no two students’ journeys look alike. Follow along with seven recent graduates as they reflect on their high school years and realize that every twist and turn—even the unexpected detours—helped lead them exactly where they are meant to be.
HIGHLIGHTS
From the Head of School
Than Healy explores one of Menlo’s greatest strengths: there is no single route through the School. As he shares, “we strive to create the conditions for every student to chart a course that is uniquely their own.”
A Foundation of Joy
In this video sub-feature, we explore how joy, playfulness, and curiosity serve as the critical foundation for learning and development.
Global Expo 2026
What happens when more than 40 cultures and traditions come together in one place? Step inside Menlo’s 2026 Global Expo and experience a celebration shaped by the community.
