Did you know today is Louise Thaden Day? In 1976, Governor David Pryor declared August 22 as Louise Thaden Day. ✈️ Louise was raised on a family farm, but a plane ride with a barnstormer in her youth cemented her desire to fly. She later became the first and only pilot to simultaneously hold the women’s records for speed, altitude, and solo endurance. She competed and won against Amelia Earhart and others in the first all-women’s transcontinental race, the National Women’s Air Derby in 1929. As Louise soared to new heights in aviation, we aim to soar to new heights in education! 🦉

Kate T. '24 will attend the University of Arkansas's Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design this fall. At Thaden, Kate participated in many extracurriculars including volleyball and the pastry team, where she was captain for four years. She found her passions in the Meals and Reels signature programs and fostered her love of film and architecture during her academic journey. She credits Mr. Petrick, Dr. Bonnem, and Ms. King as the teachers who "have impacted her in so many different ways." Congratulations, Kate!
