GREG WEHNER/OCEAN CITY TODAY Worcester Preparatory School seniors walk to their graduation ceremony on Friday wearing white dresses and tuxedos, rather than cap and gowns.

School celebrates graduates during 50th ceremony

By Greg Wehner Staff Writer (June 3, 2022) Worcester Preparatory held its 50th annual graduation on Friday morning, honoring the 46 students and their accomplishments at the private Berlin school.

The air that morning was filled with drizzle as the sound of a solo bagpiper led the students, faculty and honorees to the commencement. For some, it may have been a somber moment, though for many others it was time to celebrate.

Instead of wearing the traditional cap and gown seen at most graduations, the young ladies of Worcester Prep donned white dresses and the men wore tuxedos for the occasion.

With them were family and friends who were there to cheer on and congratulate the momentous occasion of walking across the stage and being handed a diploma.

“The Class of 2022 is an amazing class that has [shown] tremendous resilience and leadership throughout the past two years,” Dr. John McDonald, the head of the school said. “I am very proud of their accomplishments and wish them success in the future.”

Of the 46 students who graduated on Friday, 17 started their educational paths at the private school, located in Berlin.

Now, the entire graduating class will go off to colleges in Maryland and as far away as Louisiana. Some of the colleges the graduates will attend include Virginia Military Institute, George Washington University, Georgetown University, the University of Delaware, Syracuse University, the University of Miami, and Duke.

Before the diplomas were handed out, several students were honored with scholarships. See STUDENTS Page 28
