Trinity-Pawling Holds 112th Commencement

On Saturday, May 25, Trinity-Pawling School held its 112th Commencement exercises and celebrated the graduation of 73 students.

The Commencement speaker was Mrs. Elizabeth P. Allen (Liz), President of the Board of Trustees. In 1975, Liz Allen joined the advisory committee overseeing Trinity-Pawling's affairs. After serving on the advisory board for 3 years, Allen became a full trustee of Trinity-Pawling when the board was formally created in 1978. Allen participated in the first Long Range Plan of 1990, and then she chaired the next Long Range planning committee in 2000. In 2003, Allen assumed the role as Board President upon Robert M. “Stretch” Gardiner's ’40 retirement. Allen has steered the Board with impressive command. That a woman of such fortitude and grace has shaped an all-boys school sends a powerful message on how to lead an institution.

Student speakers included Valedictorian Yin Jiang, of Lexington, MA and Head Prefect John M. Garvey of Hamden, CT. Headmaster William W. Taylor would award prizes. The diplomas were presented by Board President Mrs. Elizabeth P. Allen and members of the Board of Trustees.
