Christ School's One Hundred and Seventeenth Commencement
Families, students, and faculty gathered in Mebane Field House on Sunday, May 21 for Christ School's 117th Commencement Ceremony.
Frank DeRonja '17, National Honor Society member and member of the recently-crowned #1 Varsity Lacrosse State Championship team, spoke to over 1,000 people in attendance, saying, "Life is not about dwelling on your failures. Life is about finding joy in your successes...Christ School prides itself on taking boys from all backgrounds and molding them into model citizens. The lessons we learn in Arden, North Carolina are the ideals that we will live by for the rest of our life."
He was followed by Mr. James Uhler, Instructor of History and Teacher of the Year, who told the graduates, "If you find a way to wake up each day with the purpose of making the little corner of your world a better place, you will find true happiness."
Following the speeches, diplomas and Bibles were presented to each graduate by Headmaster Paul Krieger, Academic Dean Joe Mouer, and Chaplain Kirk Brown.
The Awards Ceremony was held on the previous day, Saturday, May 20. View the list of award winners here.
