The 109th Saint John's High School Commencement

246 seniors graduated on the morning of May 17, 2015. They will be matriculating to 107 different colleges, universities, and military academies in the fall. Congratulations to the class of 2015!
On Sunday May 17, 2015 at 9:30 a.m., the Saint John’s High School commencement for the Class of 2015 took place in the Hart Center at the College of the Holy Cross. Most Reverend Bishop Robert McManus celebrated the baccalaureate liturgy.

Headmaster Michael Welch presented the Award for Academic Excellence to Matthew Dowling of Sturbridge. Matt gave the Valedictory Address to his classmates, sharing that “the class of 2015 has witnessed, over the past four years, the transformation from a class of boys into a class of brothers, by the friendships that have been forged, and through the mutual support and hard work of each individual.  I now would like to challenge each and every one of us to find our talents, [and] use our talents…In this way, we will make our community and, dare I say, our humanity more genuine and more real.”

Graduates Connor Hayden (Worcester) and Luke Lauring (Worcester) were both honored with the Xaverian Award. This award is given to a senior, nominated by the faculty, who best exemplifies the Xaverian spirit of humility, compassion, faith, and leading by service. The Headmaster describes the Xaverian award winners as students who have “shown through action and character that Saint John’s is a better place because of their presence.”

The nearly 250 members of the Saint John’s class of 2015, listed below, will be matriculating to over 170 different colleges, universities, and military academies in the fall.
