ords of encouragement, sage advice,
and reflections of the past four years
ushered the Class of 2023 through Cheshire Academy’s annual Commencement ceremony, held on the morning of Saturday, June 3. The procession of 98 graduates, as well as trustees, faculty, and staff, walked along CA’s campus onto Slaughter Field and under the Commencement tent to begin the annual rite of passage that celebrates the seniors’ achievements and their individual paths. As is tradition, senior faculty members Chip Boyd P’98,’10 and Laura Longacre led the procession. Welcoming everyone to the ceremony was student body president Osajie Imevbore ’23. In his address, Imevbore reflected on the values represented by Cheshire Academy’s Eight Pillars of Bowden, “My fellow graduates, as we stand on the threshold of our next chapter, let us continue to embrace these values wholeheartedly. Let us be the agents of change, the advocates of justice, and the embodiment of these principles. Let us remember that our journey does not end here, but rather, it begins anew — a journey where our actions will define who we become and the impact we have on the world.”
