T
o commemorate Park’s Grade IX program, the School commissioned a video to be presented at the Grade IX Lead Us Out evening on September 29. We interviewed more than 20 individuals who had a deep connection to Grade IX during its 49-year tenure. Time would not allow us to include everyone’s voice in the film nor in the remarks made that evening. However, in the pages that follow, we have selected a few reflections that highlight the essence of the program. The School is grateful to all who participated in making the Grade IX video and evening possible.
