It was an unbelievably exciting and inspiring day. If you know these boys then you know they recommitted to this goal 365 days ago after finishing second in the State for the third year in a row. We've watched them practice, mature, push each other, return from surgeries, and never quit. The outcome was obviously sweet, but the work they put in is what will serve them well into the future.
This week's tennis matches are a microcosm for the entire St. Andrew's experience that will come to a crescendo for 76 graduates this weekend. Whether or not you are a parent, grandparent, or guardian of a graduate, we should all feel tremendous pride in the work and commitment of these young men and women as they carry the values of St. Andrew's into the future. We thank you all for your support in this remarkable journey.
All the best,

P.S. — You know I also love the lighter moments. Thanks to Bernadette Devine '99 for capturing Will Brown '14's first night of duty on Hillier earlier this week. Will brought out a mini hoop and hosted a 2-on-2 basketball tournament. Mac von Oehsen '16 hit the game-winning dunk with only seconds left before the guys had to brush their teeth and get into bed. It's the first time I've ever seen a player carried off the field on his friends' shoulders. Watch here.
