The ceremony featured a number of speakers, and the awarding of prizes and diplomas. President of the Wooster School Board of Trustees Jim Mustich offered kind words to Wooster’s soon-to-be graduates. David Newman, Head of Upper School announced the honorees for, “Crayons to Commencement,” commending students who began their Wooster careers in the Lower School.

Head of School Matt Byrnes spoke to the graduating class. “When you think you have figured it all out, and have seen it all, you’ve got an experience on your way that will disabuse you of that notion,” Byrnes remarked. He added, “The good life is full of the difficult and the unexpected, and about knowing what to be grateful for.”
