Seven Hills Graduates 79 Students in 47th Commencement
“Now is your turn and time to lead.” The words of commencement speaker Hon. Judge Timothy S. Black charged the Class of 2021 with the responsibility of encouraging and inspiring each other to draw from their resilience and to value their connections with other people. Seven Hills celebrated its 47th Commencement in the Field House on the Hillsdale Campus on June 4. The 79 graduates, clad in caps and gowns, came together to commemorate their myriad achievements and time at the Seven Hills Upper School, and to listen to the words of wisdom of several school community leaders, including Head of School Chris Garten, Head of Upper School Matt Bolton, and Board of Trustees Chair Stephen Baggott. Students also heard from classmate David Kiley, history teacher and college counselor Beth Driehaus, and parent Mandy Hayes ’91, also a Middle School English teacher at Seven Hills. In addition, Seven Hills alumni Peter Matthews ’91 and Elizabeth Lende Williams H’60, received the Goodall Distinguished Alumni Award. Rahwa Ghebre-Ab ’01 received the Young Alumni Award. Congratulations to the Class of 2021!
