On Friday morning, June 14th, under the tent on top of the Hill, the Class of 2013 graduated from Hopkins School!
Head of School, Barbara Riley, started the festivities, followed by an Invocation by Reverend Dr. Frederick J. Streets, Senior Pastor of the Dixwell Avenue Congregational United Church of Christ in New Haven. Senior Class President, Gordon Driscoll, gave the Salutatory address, and later presented Mrs. Riley with the Senior Class Gift. This year, the seniors raised an unprecedented $12,000 to begin an endowed scholarship fund.
Senior Alex Kronman gave a poignant and humorous Valedictory Address.
Kelly Martin, President of the Hopkins Committee of Trustees, 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.
See video and photos from Commencement in the attached galleries.
Congratulations to the Class of 2013!
