In our most recent newsletter, we talked about mirrors and spotlights—about how important it is for all of us to pause, reflect, and affirm our own gifts, and how meaningful it can be when others in our community shine a light on those gifts for us. In that spirit, we’d like to spotlight our 8th graders—all 17 of them!

Many of these students have been with us for their entire lower and middle school careers, while others have only recently joined our community. Over 85% of our students have been accepted to their first choice high school! To say we’re proud of them and all they’ve accomplished is an understatement. This week, they've been practicing for their Capstone Presentations, and as I’ve watched them rehearse and prepare, I’ve been struck by their creativity, maturity, and thoughtfulness.

Without further ado, I’m proud to present our graduating Class of 2025 and the high schools they’ll be attending next year:

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating these incredible eighth graders in the coming weeks—and most especially at their Graduation Ceremony on June 4 at 10:00 a.m. in the Great Hall. We’ll gather as a community to mark this important milestone in their educational journey. In the meantime, if you see any of these students, be sure to let them know they will always be part of the St. Elizabeth’s community.

Best foot forward, 

Adriana Murphy
Head of School
