Morning Meeting

At any other time of day, you’ll find Dubliners in classrooms and offices, at team practices and play rehearsals, club meetings, study sessions, biking on the campus trails, reading in the library, painting in the art studio.

But for 30 minutes every morning, there is only one place to find us: students, teachers, and staff. Morning Meeting is how Dublin starts its day.

The line of people waiting to share some- thing with the 200 people in the assembly room snakes out from the stage. The varsity soccer captain stands to remind us that their team is going to regionals, and the room erupts in cheers. A rock band brings down the house with an original song. Three freshmen announce they’re starting a new poetry club. Head of School, Brad Bates poses his Question of the Week and presents the “Moxie Award” to the self-avowed “city kids” who climbed their first mountain last weekend—despitean unexpected snow storm.

Connecting us and broadening our horizons, preparing each member of the Dublin community for the excitement of a new day, Morning Meeting is the family breakfast table and the morning paper rolled into one chaotic, unifying tradition that could only happen here.
