Outstanding Achievements Recognized at Academic Convocation

Outstanding Achievements Recognized at Academic Convocation

Today we gathered on Elm Farm lawn to celebrate our annual Academic Convocation, where we recognized the academic achievements of our Upper School students during the 2023-2024 school year.

Our highest academic honors went to Michael Chang ’25, Promit Mukhopadhyay ’25 and Hansini Velichety ’26 while Renee Bou Mansour ’25 was this year’s recipient of the Liberty Loan Prize Award, an award that recognizes a student who maintains the highest combined qualities of scholarship, leadership, and school loyalty.

In addition to celebrating individual hard work, the ceremony included inductions to honor societies, as well as recognition for students who received community service honors.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners! Below you'll find all of the individual award winners and some of the best photos from the event
