Prize Day 2023

 

Hopkins held its annual Prize Day celebration on Thursday morning, June 8, under the big tent on Pratt Field. The community gathered for the last time this school year as students from all grades were awarded prizes for their achievements. The event culminated in the reveal of the Class of 2023 banner. This year’s banner was created by student artists in Derek Byron’s Studio Art 3 Class along with the input of a senior steering committee. Thank you to Rachael Huang ’23, Sydney Matthews ’23, Alex Rawald ’24, Ishani Vallabhajosyula ’24, and Vivian Wang ’23 for their hard work and beautiful artistry. Themed with a Hopkins twist on the Disney/Pixar film “Up,” this unique banner will brighten Heath Commons next year, and the reunion tent when the class of 2023 returns for Alumni Weekend every five years.
