On Friday morning, June 12th, under the tent on top of the Hill, the Class of 2015 graduated from Hopkins School!
 
Head of School, Barbara Riley, started the festivities, followed by an Invocation by Rev. Dr. Frederick J. Streets, former Chaplain of Yale University and Senior Pastor of the Dixwell Avenue Congregational United Church of Christ in New Haven. Senior Class President, Walker Schneider, gave the Salutatory address, and later presented Mrs. Riley with the Senior Class Gift. This year, the seniors raised nearly $20,000 to begin an endowed scholarship fund for a New Haven student.  Senior Sanjay Dureseti delivered a wonderful Valedictory Address.
 
Vince Calarco, President of the Hopkins Committee of Trustees, accompanied by Head Adviser Kristine Waters, delivered diplomas to each graduating senior.
 
Following the conclusion of the Commencement ceremony, the Faculty and Committee of Trustees formed a receiving line to congratulate every graduate. Handshakes, smiles, hugs, and tears continued for about half an hour as the students said goodbye to their Hopkins teachers and mentors and found their way to their proud families.

Please see video of the speeches and photos from Commencement in the attached galleries.
