Class of 2014 Graduates
Graduation ceremony honors the 39th class of Crossroads seniors.
Crossroads said goodbye to its 122 graduating seniors at the 2014 graduation ceremony held on May 29 on the Norton Campus field. The ceremony included remarks from Board Chair Bob Friedman and Upper School Director Roxanne Zazzaro, as well as speeches and musical performances from the seniors themselves. Head of School Bob Riddle addressed the crowd of family, friends, faculty and staff to praise the talents and versatility of the Class of 2014, comprised of “activists who are artists, artists who are scientists, scientists who are athletes.”
Students had selected English teacher Giles Scott to give the commencement address. Giles ended his lively, humorous speech with an insight into the students’ futures:
“It’s not going to college that will make any of you successful, or happy, or even more importantly, which college, and it’s not about how big your house is or how many boats you can or cannot afford. It will be the small, apparently inconsequential things. This will sound irrevocably cheesy, but it will be about acts of kindness, the kinds of acts of kindness that happen here every day…”
A catered reception followed the graduation ceremony.
