Goodwin started the year together on Friday, September 4, with the first Goodwin Gathering of 2026-2027! The entire school came together to celebrate a great start to the year, share some laughs, and continue building the sense of belonging that makes Goodwin such a special community. Student emcees Samantha Herman and Charles Giavarini helped lead the meeting, giving students a voice in running the gathering itself. This is exactly what our strategic plan pillar of Belonging and Ram Identity looks like in action.
