Each spring at Trinity-Pawling’s beloved Stepping Up ceremony in All Saints’ Chapel, a small group of rising seniors are elected to be the Prefects for the upcoming school year. Derived from the Latin word for ‘leader’, Prefects are voted in by the student body and faculty. They serve as student leaders in all areas of campus life and model the School’s ideals of honor, respect, and hard work.
On May 28, 2023, eight Trinity-Pawling Prefects were elected for the 2023-2024 school year, earning the honor by demonstrating their commitment to the School and most importantly, to their peers.
Now as the new school year begins, enjoy this snapshot of the Class of 2024 Prefects and their vision for the year ahead.
