Closing Time

Each year, our seniors celebrate with time-honored traditions that make saying goodbye that much harder.

We celebrate our seniors in a BIG way—not just through Commencement exercises, but with multiple events that acknowledge their years of hard work, dedication, and friendships. Check out our photo essay to learn how we honor and cherish each member of every graduating class!

Anna DuMond ’21 gives a speech at the “Three Quarters of the Way There Lunch” in 2021. Typically held in winter as the “Halfway There” celebration (2021’s date was pushed back because of COVID), this event gives seniors the opportunity to bond as a class before they hit the “final stretch” before graduation!

Tim Gruber ’12 celebrates with his parents, Chris and Dana, at the annual Senior Breakfast. Typically held a few weeks before graduation, this event allows the graduating class to acknowledge the support of their parents and advisors.

Each class spends four years with their dean, establishing tight bonds. Here, the Class of ’22 lifts Dean Booker, who did some push-ups similar to the ones he’d performed on the push-up board at football games.

On or around May 1, our seniors celebrate their college decisions by donning t-shirts of their selected schools, as well as “chalking the walk” with college logos. Here, the Class of ’21 shows off their years of hard work.
