Submitted by The Episcopal Academy
NEWTOWN SQUARE — The Episcopal Academy graduated 134 seniors at its 239th Commencement exercises on Thursday, June 6.
The ceremony took place in the Class of 1944 Chapel on the Newtown Square campus.
Students were recognized for their accomplishments and congratulated by Dr. T.J. Locke, Head of School; Fr. Tim Gavin, Head Chaplain; Mr. Mike Letts, Head of Upper School; and Ms. Tanuja Murray, Dean of Students.
This year’s student speakers were valedictorian Colin Schlitt and salutatorian Brendan Schlitt.
“While we are all different authors, our stories will share the moments that make Episcopal the extraordinary place that it is.” shared Brendan Schlitt. “The grit and passion we leave on the court, field, mat, track, river, or in the pool. These are the moments that define the Episcopal experience.”
“The most important aspect of our education does not come from the text of our books but from the words of wisdom bestowed by our teachers,” reflected Colin Schlitt. “Episcopal has taught us how to be respectful and wholeheartedly unselfish.”
