Our community partners from EPCC, UTEP, and Texas Tech El Paso are ready to offer support and resources to ALL students, regardless of their college choice.

This Throwback Thursday, we’re sharing a timeless lesson from our very own Ms. Armendariz. She taught our youngest Knights that unkind actions can hurt a heart, leaving “wrinkles” that even a band-aid can’t fully erase. This powerful analogy helps children understand the long-term impact of their actions on others. It’s a beautiful example of how we integrate social and emotional development into our curriculum, a key component of the state’s early childhood standards. By learning about empathy and the consequences of their behavior, our students are building the foundation for positive relationships and healthy emotional well-being. It’s a fundamental part of our mission to shape not just sharp minds, but kind hearts, too. #RADFORDSCHOOL #DiscoUtServem #KnightsLead #StrategicLeadership #RadfordKnights #ElPasoEducation #RadfordFamily #PrivateSchool #CollegePrep #K12Education #RadfordDay2025 #RadfordTraditions #Radford115years #RadfordAlumni #PrivateSchoolTraditions #PrepSchool #GoodSchoolsGuide

Happy Fan Friday, Radford family! We’re so proud to shine a spotlight on our amazing students and their incredible work with the Acts of Random Kindness (ARK) project.

We want to give a huge shout-out to our dedicated school counselors and teachers, Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Leggett, for championing this project. We also want to recognize the El Paso Community Foundation, and Radford School Executive Director, Manuel Castruita, for their partnership in bringing this program to our school.

This past week, our amazing librarian, Michelle Gutierrez, helped our students learn about kindness with a special lesson in the library! 📚 In conjunction with the Radford ARK (Acts of Random Kindness) Project kickoff, Michelle read the book Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson to students. After the story, students brainstormed their own acts of random kindness and wrote their ideas on slips of paper to be placed in the Radford Library Kindness Box for everyone to see. ✍️ It’s a great example of how the library extends and supports the lessons our students learn both inside and outside the classroom, all with a focus on reading. We love seeing our Knights lead with kindness! 💖 #RADFORDSCHOOL #DiscoUtServem #KnightsLead #StrategicLeadership #RadfordKnights #ElPasoEducation #RadfordFamily #PrivateSchool #CollegePrep #K12Education #RadfordDay2025 #RadfordTraditions #Radford115years #RadfordAlumni #PrivateSchoolTraditions #PrepSchool #GoodSchoolsGuide #ClassroomChronicles

You know how some moments just stick with you? This is one of them. Our amazing kindergarten teacher, Ms. Stephanie R. Leitch, arranged a special pairing between her students and some of our seniors. Watching them together is a powerful lesson in empathy, mentorship, and the beautiful cycle of life in school. The seniors, with a full educational journey behind them, will guide our little ones who are just taking their first steps. It’s a beautiful metaphor for a high school senior leaving for college—they’re not just leaving; they’re carrying all they’ve learned and sharing a piece of it with the next generation. Thank you, Ms. Leitch, for this unforgettable lesson. #RADFORDSCHOOL #DiscoUtServem #KnightsLead #StrategicLeadership #RadfordKnights #ElPasoEducation #RadfordFamily #PrivateSchool #CollegePrep #K12Education #RadfordDay2025 #RadfordTraditions #Radford115years #RadfordAlumni #PrivateSchoolTraditions #PrepSchool #GoodSchoolsGuide

As Radford School celebrates its 115th Anniversary in 2025, this week we are featuring Radford’s May Fete, a cherished annual tradition that celebrates spring and honors the graduating senior class. May Fete is a beautiful blend of history and ceremony, with roots in both European and school-specific traditions. At the heart of the celebration is the May Pole; a European custom that symbolizes the arrival of spring and new life, with students weaving colorful ribbons around the pole in a choreographed dance. Donna Gore, a Radford alumnus, shared a fun fact about the tradition: “Senior girls used to curtsy and hold their dresses and touch their foreheads to the ground. They practiced for months to get this down.” This detail highlights the dedication and grace that has formed part of this special event since Radford’s beginnings. We are proud to continue the tradition of May Fete at Radford - an event that beautifully connects our past with our present. SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE Are you a Radford alumna? We invite you to share your special memories and stories from past with us. Your experience is a vital part of our school’s history and we would love to hear from you.

It’s with a tender heart that we say goodbye to the incredible Mrs. Vicki Landersman, NREMT, who has made a profound difference at our school.

While we are sad to see her go, we are also excited for her new beginnings. We know she will continue to inspire and achieve great things in her next chapter. Once a part of the Radford family, always a part of the Radford family. We wish her all the best! #RadfordSchool
