Convocation Sets Tone for School Year

McDonogh’s Convocation ceremony, marking the opening of the 2015-2016 school year, was held Thursday, September 3 on Childs Memorial Terrace. Excitement was in the air as members of the Class of 2016 and their friends in prefirst and first grade processed down the hill to their seats. Bridget Collins ’90, Director of Religious Studies, Character, and Service, began the ceremony with words of hope for the entire school community, and in particular for Archer S., a member of the junior class who sustained a serious spinal injury this summer. Following her remarks, Headmaster Charlie Britton and student representatives from each division shared their expectations for a happy and productive year. The program concluded with the ringing of a school bell to officially open the school year.
