St. Patrick’s Proudly Hosts 2026 MAESA Scholars’ Fair

The atmosphere at St. Patrick’s was abuzz with excitement as we hosted the Annual Mid-Atlantic Episcopal Schools (MAESA) Fair. Students showcased their talents across various disciplines. This year’s event was especially meaningful for our community, as our Head of School, Jalene Spain Thomas, currently serves as President of MAESA, making it a true honor to welcome fellow Episcopal schools to Campus. 

From the Geography Bee, where participants demonstrated their knowledge of world landmarks and geographical features, to the Math Meet, where students tackled complex mathematical problems with remarkable skill and composure, to the Art Show, where students highlighted their understandings of line, shape, space, and texture, our Wolfhounds performed with poise and talent. Most importantly, the 28 St. Patrick’s participants enjoyed a day of scholarship and camaraderie with students from thirteen other Episcopal schools in the region.
