On June 11, 2005, family, friends, guests, and faculty gathered on graduation terrace to witness the graduation ceremony for the 78 members of the class of 2005.

We were honored to have Madame Young-Shin GP'05 to present the commencement address. Chairperson of the Aekyung Group, an international conglomerate she has headed since 1972 and one of Korea’s foremost women business owners, she is also the grandmother of a member of the class of 2005.

In her remarks to the graduates, Head of School Maureen Fonseca challenged them to think about the following question: “What will you pack up and take with you and what will you leave behind as you move on beyond the walls of The Masters School?”

Senior class co-presidents, Elizabeth Gross and Thomas Robinson, who addressed their classmates that day, had been thinking about this very question. Each observed that although they were moving away from the school, they would always remain members of The Masters School community. They noted that their years here have represented so much more than a solid academic preparation for college.

The graduates are now heading to a wide array of excellent colleges and universities, and we wish them all the very best of luck!
