The Wardlaw+Hartridge School held its 142nd Commencement Ceremony on Friday, June 13 on the front field.
The Class of 2025 marched in and received an ovation from the W+H community of parents, families, faculty, trustees, alumni and friends. The program began with the Star-Spangled Banner and a welcome from Dr. Bob Bowman, Head of Upper School.
Student Council president Adam Eisdorfer ’25 represented his class with a wonderful speech during which he shared memories and wished everyone the best of luck in the future. Dr Corinna Crafton, Head of School, focused on the importance of empathy during her speech and also delivered her Charge to the Class of 2025. Dr. Ayesha Sitlani, Board of Trustees President, reflected on how much she values the past 13 years of her daughter Jini’s ’25 education at W+H in her remarks that emphasized the virtue of kindness.
The 61 graduates received their diplomas after Rudy Brandl ’83, Director of Communications and Publications, announced their names. They were greeted by Drs. Crafton, Bowman and Sitlani and after all graduates received their diplomas, they tossed their caps in the air with jubilation.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
