On Friday morning, June 13th, under the tent on top of the Hill, the Class of 2014 graduated from Hopkins School!
Head of School, Barbara Riley, started the festivities, followed by an Invocation by Imam Omer Bajwa, Coordinator for Muslim Life at the Chaplain's Office of Yale University. Senior Class President, Tanner Marsh, gave the Salutatory address, and later presented Mrs. Riley with the Senior Class Gift. This year, the seniors raised over $10,000 to begin an endowed scholarship fund. Senior Alec Gewirtz delivered a well-crafted Valedictory Address.
Vince Calarco, 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.
Please see video of the speeches in the attached galleries, as well as photos from Commencement.
Congratulations to the Class of 2014!
