The Class of 2026 began their graduation celebrations with the traditional Baccalaureate service at the Church of St. John the Divine. Selected by the students, Upper School History faculty member Russell Hardin delivered a heartwarming address, and Head Prefect Nathan Kim shared heartfelt reflections and words of encouragement with his classmates.

The Commencement ceremony took place in the gym, where graduates celebrated alongside faculty, family, and friends. This year’s commencement speaker was former Headmaster John Allman, who inspired the class with messages of perseverance, leadership, and global citizenship as they prepare for the future.

Made possible by the Olga McLaren Poetry Endowment, students welcomed authors and poets Matthew Burgess and Allan Wolf, who shared their writing process and love of poetry with students.
