The Grade 8 Class of 2016

A Joyous Grade 8 Graduation

On Thursday, June 9, Nashoba Brooks graduated 28 Grade 8 students in a ceremony filled with music, remembrances, and joy.
Family members, teachers, and friends joined the graduates, some of whom have attended the School since preschool, at this special celebration. The class co-presidents welcomed the gathering by saying, “Nashoba Brooks has given us a community to thrive in. They have helped to strengthen our character, and given us the confidence we need to go our separate ways.”

Board President Jason Robard then shared reflections of three Nashoba Brooks’ alumnae with the group. The young women offered thoughts about their own experiences and advised the graduates “to embrace adventure, to engage and be respectful of others — but not lose who you are, to strive for excellence through balance, not simply through specialization, and to explore, persevere, and strive in everything you do.”

Head of School Danielle Heard remarked about the class, “You have navigated your way through Nashoba Brooks with creativity, curiosity, and joy for learning that reflects the mission of our School and inspires everyone around you. You have embodied the School’s commitment to continuous learning and innovation in the context of our rapidly changing world.”

After the formal remarks were over, the Grade 8 advisors shared individual reflections about the graduates as they received their diplomas. The Class of 2016 will be attending fifteen different schools next year, including The Bromfield School, Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, The Cambridge School of Weston, Concord Academy, Concord Carlisle High School, Deerfield Academy, Groton School, Lawrence Academy, Middlesex School, Millbrook School, New Hampton School, Phillips Academy Andover, St. Mark’s School, Ursuline Academy, and The Winsor School.
