Each spring, as the graduating class prepares to go beyond the pond, they leave something behind: The Story of Us, a book of senior reflections, and one of St. Andrew's most cherished traditions. In its pages, Saints document the memories and moments that made their time at St. Andrew's unforgettable—their favorite spots on campus, the art class that inspired an undiscovered passion, the sport they never thought they'd play, the conversations they'll never forget, the stories they'll tell for a lifetime.

This year's edition, shaped by the Class of 2026, bears the fingerprints of a grade that embraced the unexpected. "We learned early on that things don't always go according to plan," wrote co-presidents Abraham Perry '26 and Lila Lunsford '26 in the preface. "But our grade's defining characteristic is that we go all in."

You can see it in Nico Chapman '26—"not really a musical person"—who went all-in on beatboxing in the a cappella choir and ended up writing his own music. You can see it in Kevin Jin '26, who stumbled into an Advanced Study Athens class junior year and found a course that rewired how he thinks. "History no longer felt distant or static," he wrote. "It became immersive and alive." And you can see it in Bahar Bekirefendi '26, who showed up to the baseball field as a freshman on shaky legs and kept showing up—through an injury that sidelined her for six weeks before she got back onto the field in time to record the final out of the season. "Adversity must be faced alongside fear," she wrote, "and not behind it."

Long after schedules are forgotten and assignments fade, these stories and more will hold the essential truth of what it means to be a Saint.
