Forging Bonds That Last
Family & Alumni Weekend is more than a series of activities—it’s a moment of shared reflection and celebration. Students proudly present their progress, families connect with one another, alumni return to inspire, and staff reaffirm their commitment to each student’s success.
In 2025, the energy was unmistakable: joy, pride, and a sense of belonging woven into every workshop, meal, conversation, and performance.
As we look ahead, we celebrate the powerful relationships that fuel the CIP community—and the many milestones still to come.
