WPS Alumni Association Hosts 100-Day Breakfast for the Class of 2026

2/17/2026

Berlin, MD – In a heartwarming event on the morning of Friday, February 13, the Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) Alumni Association celebrated a significant milestone—the final 100 days before graduation—for the class of 2026. Held in the library lecture room, the occasion was marked by a delicious breakfast, stirring speeches, and wonderful advice from Lower School students.

WPS Alumni Association President Ashlee Reed Hidell ’00 welcomed the seniors and shared words of encouragement for the journey ahead. Guest speaker Roscoe Leslie ’96, an attorney for Worcester County, is married to Worcester Preparatory School English teacher Megan Leslie and is the parent of two WPS students. He reflected on his path from Worcester Prep to college and career, and the lasting impact the school had on his future.

One of the morning’s highlights came as seniors read notes of advice from Lower School students about their first year of college — from spending time with their parents to remembering to brush their teeth. The thoughtful messages brought plenty of smiles and laughter to close out a meaningful celebration.

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 School, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
