In her first decade as the current Head of Curtis School, Dr. Meera Ratnesar has added several new—and already beloved—traditions to the school calendar. One of these, begun in 2023, is the Cougar Plunge. On the last day of school, Dr. Ratnesar, Director of 6th Grade Ashley Ma, and the 6th grade students, all dressed in school uniforms, join hands and simultaneously jump into the Cougar pool one last time. The Cougar Plunge celebrates our 6th graders' Curtis journey while unleashing waves of water and hilarity.
