Congratulations to the Class of 2019!

On the morning of Friday, June 7, at a beautiful ceremony on the Hill, 130 members of the Class of 2019 graduated from Hopkins School, surrounded by family, friends, faculty and staff.

Head of School Kai Bynum started the festivities, followed by an Invocation by Rabbi Emeritus Herbert N. Brockman, DD, PhD of Congregation Mishkan Israel. Senior Class President Madeleine Walker gave a lovely Salutatory address, and later presented Dr. Bynum with the Senior Class Gift. This year, the seniors presented the School with a donation to the Hopkins Fund for financial aid in honor of their teachers. Senior Alex Hughes delivered a reminiscent and humorous Valedictory Address.
 
Vince Calarco, President of the Hopkins Committee of Trustees, accompanied by Head Adviser Lars Jorgensen, 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 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 from Friday's Commencement below.
