Also, we invite you to watch student speeches from Rebecca Li (our Valedictorian), Allyson Scharrer (our Salutatorian), and Grace Jordan (faculty selection). We are so proud of their dedication and commitment to thinking and living well.

As our community, our nation, and our world are wrestling with incredibly complex issues and experiencing tremendous pain, we pray this commencement of 41 beautiful young people will provide you with hope and joy for the journey ahead. 

With love and prayers,

David O’Neil
Head of School

P.S. We want you to know we gave much thought and careful consideration to ensure the wellbeing of our graduates in the planning and execution of this drive-in outdoor commencement. The utmost care was used in ensuring physical distancing for the 41 graduates, their parents, and our staff. Should you have any questions, please call the school.
