Last week marked a milestone in NEIA’s journey as our community came together with Bentley Companies for the Topping Off Ceremony of our new athletic facility. This tradition of celebrating the placement of the final steel beam symbolizes the remarkable progress we’ve made and the strength of our shared vision. After gathering for an all-school lunch, students and staff walked to the construction site, where each person had the chance to sign the final beam—leaving a lasting mark on the future of NEIA. It was a proud and exciting moment that brought our community together to honor both our growth and the road ahead.
We were honored to be joined by our incoming Head of School, Dr. Durga Suresh-Menon, whose message on the final beam captured the spirit of the day: “To many more. 2025 – ” At NEIA, there’s no finish line or end date—just continuous growth, lasting impact, and a future we’re building together right now!
