Griffin Theatre in the Spotlight!
In addition to a theatre elective, Griffin School offers students the opportunity to audition for an extra-curricular play production each semester. In spring 2023, under the guidance of program director Robin Grace Soto, students performed Lost Girl, by Kimberly Belflower. An exploration of love, loss, identity and magic, the play continues the story of Wendy Darling, the girl who had to grow up.

Griffin School Reviews
As an alum of the Griffin School, I am incredibly thankful for all of the caring teachers, coaches, and friends that I made and who helped me grow. I found my place at Griffin in a wide range of leadership opportunities from academics to athletics.
Griffin's sports program is inclusive to players of all skill levels, meaning nobody gets cut from the team. Our sports program has grown so much in the past 2 years thanks to our new Athletics Director, our new and experienced volleyball coach, and our study hall/gym location known as the Trapezoid. Being a part of the Varsity Girls' Basketball Team that won area and regional championships was a highlight of my senior year!
I had the opportunity to take classes that were outside the box like creature design, which ultimately made me a more well-rounded student. I feel well prepared to start college at the University of Texas at Austin this fall.
Thank you Griffin School!
