The Porter-Gaud calendar is full of events to connect with other members of the community. In addition to the many arts and athletic events throughout the year, there are also occasions to bring together our entire Cyclone community. Listed below are some of these community-building events:
PARENT NIGHTS - August and September
Parent Nights provide important start-of-school information and give parents an opportunity to hear from school
administrators, ask questions, and meet teachers. The Parent Association provides refreshments throughout the evening.
- Lower School: Wednesday, August 28 at 6:30 p.m.
- Middle School: Wednesday, September 4 at 6:30 p.m.

PARENT SOCIALS AND GATHERINGS - All-year long
Casual, grade-level parent gatherings are held throughout the year and are hosted at parents’ homes, restaurants, or on campus. Details will be sent out through grade-level evites and emails closer to these events.
FOUNDERS DAY - Week of October 21
An annual concert that features the musical talent of our choirs and instrumental ensembles across all three divisions. The concert’s origins can be traced back to 1978.
HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL - October 25
Our annual school-wide carnival held in the middle of campus on the Green. The carnival includes games, activities, food, a cake walk, and the parade matching up our seniors and our first graders. One of the best events of the year!
HOLIDAY MARKET - December 4-5
The Porter-Gaud Parent Association hosts a holiday bizarre, filled with local artisans and vendors. The entire
community is invited to shop. A portion of the proceeds supports the teacher wish list.
PORTERPALOOZA - Spring 2020
