Graduation 2008

Yesterday, June 1, was a beautiful day in every respect as the pomp and circumstance of Visitation’s 135th graduation ceremony unfolded. The class of 2008, so filled with promise, took their final step before becoming alumnae of this fine school. The graduates were graceful and, we believe, grace-filled, on this very special occasion.

Parents and other family members, friends of the school, faculty and staff, Board members, and of course, the precious Sisters of the Visitation provided an audience that embodied the strength of relationships that exist at Visitation. Young alums and those more veteran connected with classmates. The Sisters were surrounded by loving community members at every turn. The new graduates themselves were engulfed by family at ceremony’s end. Faculty and staff offered greetings of congratulations during the receiving line.

Tears and smiles. Hugs and hoorays. The emotions ran high as these young women crossed the door to alumnaehood. The next chapter is here. Non scholae, sed vitae; not for school, but for life.
