An inspirational ending—and beginning—for 2016 grads
In a weather window that appeared to have been custom-built just for them, the Greenhills Class of 2016 walked across the stage on a Sunday afternoon and into the next phase of their lives.
The celebratory program featured remarks by Head of School Carl Pelofsky, Class Principal Bruce Zellers, Student Speaker and Class President Ian Harris, and Faculty Speaker Mark Randolph, along with music by the Upper School Orchestra and the Upper School Choir.
Pelofsky recalled that, while interviewing for the Head of School position four years ago, it was a member of the Class of 2016 who piped up during a question-and-answer session that “When you make a speech … try and have a point.” Wryly, Pelofsky pledged to do so.

Graduates and their families and friends shared memories and laughs from Greenhills careers that, for many of the graduates, stretch back seven years. And while the laughs definitely dominated, more than a few parents could be seen dabbing at their eyes as the program unfolded. Congratulations and well done, Class of ’16!
