Bob Ogle speaking at commencement.
PRS - Head of School

Pacific Ridge School celebrated the Class of 2026 at its 16th Commencement Ceremony, where Head of School Dr. Bob Ogle reflected on the importance of human connection in an era of rapidly advancing technology. Drawing inspiration from How to Know a Person by David Brooks, Dr. Ogle encouraged graduates to cultivate meaningful relationships by listening deeply, embracing vulnerability, and intentionally seeking to know—and be known by—others. As the Class of 2026 embarks on its next chapter, graduates were reminded that while technology will continue to transform the world, authentic human connection will remain one of life's most valuable skills.
