“I love how you ask interesting questions such as: Have you ever tried something huge by yourself and failed? Have you ever imagined what the world would be like without currency? Did you know that playing video games with friends and understanding graphic design can make a person more socially confident? And have you ever thought about how parents feel when you say thank you?
“... You have passions for music, art, history, space, protecting animals, sports, and you do not like it when people litter. You have shown me that even though you don’t like the feeling of disappointment and sorrow, you realize that if you don’t take risks you will not grow.
— Dr. Sarah Mansfield, interim Head of Lower School
“... I have been working hard to see if I could find a loophole in our advancement policy since you all had to spend seventh grade spring trimester in the virtual world. I was hoping to find a way to require you all to have to return to the Middle School for one more year or at least another trimester. Our Middle School faculty actually felt a bit cheated that our time with you was cut short last year. With that said, you all were the perfect class to take on the leadership of the Middle School in this difficult year. You all met every challenge, accepted every new protocol, and rolled with the new normal in an amazing way. You rarely complained, and set the tone for the building.”
— Warren Hunter, Head of Middle School

COMMENCEMENT 2021
“So now, as members of the Class of 2021, you have come of age and become young men amidst a pandemic without precedent in over a century. You have endured hardship and loss, even if perhaps mild when compared to fighting in a world war or combatting communism. You have a shared experience with teenagers and young adults all over this world, one that will undoubtedly shape your worldview and perspective for decades to come.
“You have met that challenge head on and not only survived, but you have thrived. I am confident that this challenge will only enable you to face the next challenge, whatever it may be, with confidence and conviction that you can adapt, endure, and overcome. Be grateful, gentlemen, for the deprivations of these past 15 months, for they have forged in you a strength that may not have otherwise emerged.
— Mason Lecky, Upper School Commencement opening remarks
