Valedictorian

To the class of 2020,

It is easy to look at the accomplishments of Westminster’s class of 2020 in an attempt to gain an understanding of who they are. Athletic championships began mounting from the time they first competed on the varsity level; standardized test scores soared as they matured into upper classmen; applause echoed as they took to stage in performance.

Yet merely looking to these outward indicators only yields a partial understanding of this class as a whole. To truly see the gifting of this group of 32 students, one must walk the hallways with them and engage in their school experience. At Westminster we value the art of conversation, as words possess the power to comfort, encourage, and heal. It is here that the character of the class of 2020 truly shines. Through their conversation we see the deep care and concern they have for one another.

The members of this class do not simply talk, they listen. We see the celebration of each other’s accomplishments, the grieving of each other’s losses, and the bearing of each other’s burdens.

And through all of it we are able to witness a deep love for one another that flows out of their classroom to all aspects of our school. They have carried the torch of leadership well. They have served others. They have fostered community. They have led by example. They have made things fun. And through it all, Westminster School is a better place because of the class of 2020.
