On June 8, 2005, outside stately Estherwood Mansion, family, friends and faculty witnessed thirty-five eighth graders graduate in a simple, elegant, and meaningful ceremony.

“It was a warm and happy graduation,” remarked Everett (Doc) Wilson, head of Middle School. “The lovely afternoon was the perfect closure to a year of many changes and challenges to which the students admirably adapted.”

In their addresses, designated eighth grade spokespersons, Andrew Hall and Jasmine Broadnax, each spoke about rising to the academic challenges, forming deep friendships, and learning valuable life skills and lessons at the Middle School. They also thanked and acknowledged the committed and caring teachers for preparing them so well to move on—and up!

Among the graduates, fifteen students were honored with Middle School awards. Click below to read more about The Middle School.
