Congrats to the Class of 2025!

Before the Class of 2025 was seen off at graduation, the entire Seven Hills community gathered on the upper field on May 16 to cheer off the Class of 2025! With signs, air-horns, cowbells, a little rain, and our beloved mascot Sting, Stingers of all ages rallied for the senior class as they ran around the circle and thanked their parents and teachers for an excellent final year.

“There is not only one right path to take,” commencement speaker actor, comedian, and activist E.R. Fightmaster ‘10 said.

Seven Hills celebrated its 51st Commencement in the Field House on the Hillsdale Campus on May 30. The 105 graduates, clad in caps and gowns, came together to commemorate their myriad of achievements and time at the Seven Hills Upper School. 

“You are coming to the end of a very hard academic journey, but when you look back at your time here, you will not think about your grades. When I talked to your class representatives, they said your grades were great and all but you as a class have something special. Everyone in this class has something about them that is exceptional,” Fightmaster said. 

The graduates  listened to words of wisdom from several school community leaders, including Head of School Matt Bolton, Head of Upper School Rick Tate, and Board of Trustees Chair Lair Kennedy. Students also heard from classmates Nicholas Stein, Everett Rinaldi, and William Huguenin-Virchaux, Head of Middle School Bill Waskowitz, and parent Kelli Stein.
