Assembled in their eye-catching academic gowns, the Class of 2019 graduated in eight traditional commencement ceremonies steeped in tradition and pageantry originating in the universities of medieval Europe. We bid farewell to a class of outstanding young men and women who earned a stunning $152,321,496.00 in scholarships, acceptances at a record number of highly competitive colleges and universities including the Ivy League, and the respect and best wishes of our entire city.
