Despite the rainy weather, the excitement of Commencement Weekend was felt across Trinity-Pawling’s campus on Saturday, May 28, 2022. Donning their blue blazers, the graduates of the Class of 2022 sat alongside each other in All Saints’ Chapel and on the quad one last time — looking back on their years of accomplishments at Trinity-Pawling and looking ahead at their next great adventures.
In the days leading up to graduation, we asked the Class of 2022 perhaps the toughest question they’ve faced all year: what will they miss the most when they leave Trinity-Pawling? Here’s what we learned:
10. Spending time at the pond on campus;
9. Playing with the faculty dogs;
8. Hanging out and enjoying snacks in The Cave;
7. Writing for and reading the weekly publication of The Phoenix;
6. Playing Intramural Softball on the quad in the spring;
5. Competing in the Founders League and building bonds with teammates on the fields, courts, and rink;
4. Learning of a Headmaster’s Holiday and enjoying the surprise day off;
3. Spending time with and learning from the dedicated faculty and staff;
2. Enjoying life in the dorms;
1. Being a part of a close-knit community that feels like a family.
One graduate summed it up perfectly: “I can’t even begin to list the things I’ll miss. I love everything about T-P — what it stands for and the unbelievable people around campus.”
Congratulations to the Class of 2022! We know you will continue to leave your mark on the world, just as you left it on Trinity-Pawling School.
