He defined it as \u201cthat sense of being alert, of being aware of what is going on around you and the opportunities that we are presented with if we are being alert to our surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained that vigilance doesn\u2019t only arise in moments of danger. \u201cMore often, the opportunities to sharpen our vigilance happen when we feel at ease, when we are comfortable, and when we are just going with the flow.\u201d He praised the Class of 2025 for how they had embodied this idea: \u201cFirst of all, I need to let everyone know that the Class of 2025 is a great class&#8230; And, for me, and for others who are paying attention, it is your vigilance that helps make this class truly distinctive and, indeed, GREAT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To the class as a whole, Taylor extended his thanks for the ways they showed up throughout the year: through over 30 chapel talks on topics like awareness, community, attitude, commitment, and forgiveness; through their leadership in chapel and contributions to school spirit; and through the depth and intention of their Senior Independent Projects. \u201cYou have indeed been vigilant toward the recognition of the gifts and talents of your classmates and other students at this School.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In closing, Taylor challenged the Class of 2025 to take their vigilance with them \u2014 and to anchor it in self-awareness and integrity. \u201cBe watchful. Be aware. Know when you have to act. And, equally as important, know when you may be better off waiting before acting. All of this involves vigilance.\u201d He concluded with a reminder of what had made the class great: \u201cYour vigilance is shaped by your integrity,\u201d he said. \u201cNot only that, strive to ensure that your vigilance is also connected to the fabric of integrity and relationships that have helped nurture your journey of becoming at Trinity-Pawling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/yYjZm9mO5Ao?feature=shared&amp;t=3047\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Bill Taylor\u2019s full Commencement Address.<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">ONWARD!<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5860\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-june-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5860 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-june-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MaxxMiller_TAJ_2373_Quad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling Class of 2025 Valedictorian Maxx Miller \u201925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MaxxMiller_TAJ_2373_Quad.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MaxxMiller_TAJ_2373_Quad-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5860\" rel=\"bookmark\">MAXX MILLER \u201925<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>Maxx Miller, the Valedictorian of the Class of 2025, is, by definition, an excellent student. As Head of School Bill Taylor shared in his introduction, \u201cwhat makes him an excellent student is not just his robust intellect. Rather, what makes him an excellent student is his overall commitment and dedication to hard work and his deep awareness that this work has value to living life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on Maxx\u2019s many strengths, Taylor remarked, \u201cFor some unexplained but actually remarkably fitting reason, the Roman Emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius popped into my mind.\u201d A follower of stoic philosophy \u2014 the belief that life is about virtue, managing what you can control, and not being fixated or distracted by things that you cannot \u2014 Aurelius once wrote, \u201cVery little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.\u201d In both mindset and action, Maxx embodies this philosophy. \u201cMaxx does not take shortcuts,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cHe approaches tasks, whether they be academically, athletically, or civically related, by putting his nose to the grindstone and getting \u2018stuff done.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his address to the Class of 2025, Maxx distilled his experience into three powerful lessons that he hopes his peers will carry with them beyond Trinity-Pawling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First: Be prepared to be unprepared.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maxx reminded his classmates that the real world won\u2019t always come with the resources and support they\u2019ve had at school. \u201cWe all have to be able to produce something from nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to be able to create a path when no path has been made yet.\u201d He urged them to build confidence and adaptability, no matter the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second: Don\u2019t chase a title, a position, or physical success.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his own journey toward becoming valedictorian, Maxx admitted that early on, he chased the achievement rather than the experience. \u201cI learned to value the process over the product,\u201d he said. \u201cA lion who loves to hunt will catch more than a lion who loves to eat.\u201d The heart of his message: find fulfillment in the work, not the reward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third: Don\u2019t be stubborn.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With humility, Maxx shared how he had struggled to take criticism and admit when he was wrong. Over time, however, he learned the importance of accountability and growth. \u201cWhen someone holds me accountable, they are helping me grow,\u201d he said. \u201cTake this with you. Don&#8217;t be stubborn; be able to take advice and criticism, and apologize when you make mistakes. This will create strong relationships and facilitate personal growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maxx closed with deep gratitude for his classmates, thanking them for shaping his five years at Trinity-Pawling. \u201cYou seniors have made my time here incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cThe world hasn\u2019t seen the best of us yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maxx will continue his journey next fall at Washington and Lee University, where he\u2019ll also join the wrestling team. His wisdom, work ethic, and steady leadership will no doubt continue to serve him\u2014and inspire others\u2014for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/yYjZm9mO5Ao?feature=shared&amp;t=5898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Maxx\u2019s full Address to the Class of 2025 here.<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">VALEDICTORIAN OF THE CLASS OF 2025<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5854\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-june-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5854 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-june-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Kweku_TAJ_2283_Quad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Head Prefect Kweku Arhur-Mensah \u201925 addresses the Class of \u201925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Kweku_TAJ_2283_Quad.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Kweku_TAJ_2283_Quad-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5854\" rel=\"bookmark\">HEAD PREFECT KWEKU ARTHUR-MENSAH \u201925<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>Introduced by Head of School Bill Taylor as \u201cgenuine,\u201d \u201creverent and irreverent in a remarkably human way,\u201d Head Prefect Kweku Arthur-Mensah&#8217;s address to the Class of 2025 was both heartfelt and honest.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor praised Kweku\u2019s ability to lead with authenticity throughout the year, describing him as someone who \u201cfound an authentic way to retain his jovial personality and congeniality with the more serious demands of being the top student leader.\u201d As he presented him with the McCollum Award, Taylor concluded: \u201cHe is not pretentious, not frilly\u2026 he is steady and humble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kweku began his speech with heartfelt thanks to God, his family, and mentors like Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg P\u201910,\u201915,\u201923, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Coratti, and Father Lennox. He then tackled a familiar question asked of many students: \u201cWhy would you go to an all-boys school for four years of high school?\u201d In Kweku\u2019s case, the answer included six.<\/p>\n<p>To explain, he told a story from his sophomore year \u2014 a time of, as he put it, \u201cknucklehead shenanigans.\u201d During preseason, with hours to kill between practices, he and a group of friends found themselves caught up in some questionable hijinks in the dorms. What began as harmless boredom quickly escalated, and eventually, disciplinary consequences followed. \u201cI wanted to be a leader at Trinity-Pawling one day, and I had humiliated myself,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI remember asking Mr. Keel if he thought I could be a prefect one day \u2014 he said I\u2019d have A LOT of work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That transformation, he explained, is at the heart of the Trinity-Pawling experience. \u201cAt some point in everybody\u2019s Trinity-Pawling career, you will take an L,\u201d he said. \u201cT-P sets the bar high, and it forces students to get outside of their comfort zone every single day.\u201d What matters, he emphasized, is how you respond.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke with pride about his classmates, citing personal examples of their perseverance: Jackson Crisp \u201925 rising from the bottom of the class to Cornell; Ryan Bellamy \u201925 going from being doubted to varsity basketball captain; and members of the hockey team climbing from JV to one of the best teams in prep. \u201cThat\u2019s grit,\u201d he repeated throughout the speech.<\/p>\n<p>Kweku paid special tribute to the late Matthew Dooley \u201923, a classmate who fought brain cancer with quiet courage and left a lasting legacy. \u201cThat is grit. That is what being a T-P man is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded with a charge to his classmates: \u201cWhen challenges come, when roadblocks get in the way, as a Trinity-Pawling man, you attack that challenge head-on.\u201d Quoting the <em>Bible<\/em>, he added: \u201c<em>There is no darkness that which the light cannot overcome.<\/em>\u00a0Class of 2025, be the willers of light and go out and be the willers of good into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With strength, sincerity, and his signature humor, Kweku closed by reminding his classmates that they are never alone. \u201cIf things ever do go wrong\u2026 rest assured you have 82 brothers that you can always lean on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/yYjZm9mO5Ao?feature=shared&amp;t=4574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Kweku\u2019s full Address to the Class of 2025 here.<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">THE GIFT OF GRIT<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5851\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-june-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5851 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-june-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BrianFoster_TAJ_2553_QUAD.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Brian Foster \u201979 delivers Commencement Address to the Class of 2025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BrianFoster_TAJ_2553_QUAD.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BrianFoster_TAJ_2553_QUAD-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5851\" rel=\"bookmark\">BRIAN FOSTER \u201979<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>In his final year at Trinity-Pawling, Brian Foster \u201979 stood before the Class of 2025 not only as their Commencement speaker but as a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend who has shaped the School community for nearly four decades. Head of School Bill Taylor introduced Foster with\u00a0 admiration, noting that even as a young faculty member, \u201che had that sense of gravitas.\u201d Taylor reflected on Foster\u2019s unwavering commitment to Trinity-Pawling and its students, describing him as someone who \u201cthinks about students all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foster began his address with a heartfelt reflection on his long journey at Trinity-Pawling, saying, \u201cIn 1987, I began my career here as a math teacher and hockey coach, never ever thinking that thirty-eight years later I would be giving a graduation speech.\u201d He then spoke to the themes of relationships and gratitude, values he has both modeled and instilled in generations of Trinity-Pawling students.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the year, Foster expressed gratitude for the many moments that made it memorable. He recalled the powerful messages shared during chapel talks \u2014 on faith, mental health, resilience, and identity \u2014 and the excitement around campus traditions like Thanksgiving dinner and Candlelight. He also thanked the seniors for their effort and heart on the athletic fields, highlighting hard-fought wins like football\u2019s victory over Taft, soccer\u2019s shorthanded win against Hotchkiss, and hockey\u2019s comeback against Taft in overtime. \u201cThose are the games that I will never forget,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Foster then turned to a tradition of his own: thank you notes. Inspired by a mentor\u2019s simple gesture years ago \u2014 he made a commitment to write notes of appreciation. \u201cIt started with the seniors on my hockey teams, and I continued as athletic director, writing notes to all of your coaches following their seasons.\u201d As one final gesture to the Class of 2025, Foster prepared a personal thank you note for each graduate, along with a blank card. \u201cAll I ask is that in the next few days, you sit down and write someone you love a note, buy a stamp, and send it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He closed his speech with the kind of heartfelt encouragement that has defined his career at Trinity-Pawling: \u201cYour time at Trinity-Pawling has prepared you for the complexities of life. You, Class of 2025, are ready to embark on the next chapter. I love you all and wish you all that life has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/yYjZm9mO5Ao?feature=shared&amp;t=7963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Brian Foster\u2019s \u201979 full Address to the Class of 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">2025 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-5876\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-june-2025 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-5876 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-june-2025\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Tag-Demment64_TAJ_1502_QUAD.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Tag Demment \u201964 speaks with Trinity-Pawling&#039;s Class of 2025 at the Senior-Parent Dinner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Tag-Demment64_TAJ_1502_QUAD.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Tag-Demment64_TAJ_1502_QUAD-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=5876\" rel=\"bookmark\">TAG DEMMENT \u201964<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>At this year\u2019s Senior-Parent Dinner, the Class of 2025 and their families were honored to hear from a distinguished Trinity-Pawling alumnus, Tag Demment \u201964. A lifelong scholar, global thinker, and advocate for sustainable development, Mr. Demment shared his remarkable journey from struggling teenager to world-traveling researcher and academic leader.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his time at Trinity-Pawling, Demment spoke candidly about his teenage uncertainty, arriving at Trinity-Pawling with no center of gravity, and typical teenage angst. But a transformative English teacher, Mr. Owens, helped anchor his thinking and inspired him with the poetry of Robert Frost. \u201cTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled,\u201d Demment shared, quoting from The Road Not Taken, \u201cand that has made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That road took him far. After earning a degree in architectural sciences from Harvard, Demment traveled across Africa and eventually shifted paths \u2014 both geographically and professionally \u2014 into the world of wildlife research. He earned his MS and PhD in zoology and botany from the University of Wisconsin, including two years studying baboons in Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982, Demment joined the faculty at the University of California, Davis, where he earned tenure and later helped establish the school\u2019s pioneering sustainable agriculture program. But it was his deep commitment to development work that defined his later career. He led the CRSP (Collaborative Research Support Program), partnering with more than 35 U.S. universities and over 300 institutions in developing countries to build capacity, improve child nutrition, create insurance systems, and even design mobile phone-based tools for rural farmers.<\/p>\n<p>After retiring from UC Davis, Demment continued his global impact through the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), an organization comprised of presidents of 238 public universities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, where he oversaw international development initiatives. His proudest moments over the course of his career have been bringing people together to solve complex problems.

For 70 combined years, Brian and Amy Foster have been dedicated to Trinity-Pawling \u2014 welcoming, supportive, and deeply committed to the community. As they both retire, the Class of 2025 shared a few reflections on the impact they\u2019ve had:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Fosters have made a great impact on my T-P experience. I would like to thank Mr. Foster for running our athletic programs, and Mrs. Foster for her unwavering efforts in encouraging students to read more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do incredible work for the community. Both deserve to be recognized for all their hard work and dedication to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do everything and always put the community first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. and Mrs. Foster have been the backbone of the Trinity-Pawling community throughout my five years and long before that. The Fosters make everyone around them better, uplifting their fellow faculty whom they consider their family, and they hold each and every Trinity-Pawling student to a high standard, constantly believing in the mission statement of \u201cproviding a transformational educational experience that helps students discover and pursue their talents.\u201d Whether it\u2019s in the classroom or athletic fields, they are always pushing us to be better. This is why the 2025 <em>Trinitannus<\/em> should be dedicated to them. They have made T-P home for many of us and shared and welcomed many in their community that we hold dear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Amy and Brian!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awards, Recipients, and Leadership Positions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following awards and honors were presented during the dedication ceremony.
