On May 24, the Academy celebrated the 114 young women from the Class of 2021 at their graduation ceremony. In what has been an historical year, both valedictorian Zoe Wolff and salutatorian Emara Saez focused on what the Academy has taught them, as well as their hopes for the future. Saez said, “We’ve learned that as young women, our voices are worth listening to, our ideas are significant, and our presence is valuable. In a world that does not always promote that message, it is important that we remember what the Academy has taught us as we embark onto the next chapter of our lives.” In her remarks, Wolff said, “Graduation, here tonight, is the launching point for the rest of our lives. The reason I am who I am today is because of my Academy family, who continually challenge me, educate me, and push me to the best of my abilities. We as a class have accomplished so much, and if in the future our hopes are dashed due to hard times, we must persevere and remember that all of us are greater than the challenges we may encounter.”

Together, the class was accepted into 122 colleges and universities, served 19,974 community service hours, and had 87 alumnae graduate with honors, 66 who are members of the National Honor Society and seven who are continuing their athletic careers in college. In total, 72% of the class was offered $13.5 million in scholarships, including 71% who qualified for Bright Futures.
