The Class of 2024 gathered on the Class of 2007 Terrace at the Griffith Headmaster’s House on Wednesday, May 29, to celebrate the annual Alumni-Senior Breakfast. The soon-to-be graduates were joined by members of the Board of Trustees & Alumni Board and alumni fathers. This year’s breakfast served as another reminder of the family that is St. Sebastian’s. The Class of 2024 legacies include fouralumni fathers and one alumni grandfather: Casey Condron ’94, father of Chris Condron; Todd Proia ’91, father of Max Proia; Joe Harney ’92, father of Jack Harney; Stephen Ward ’96, father of  Luke Ward and Peter McLaughlin ’55, grandfather of Max & Nico McLaughlin.

Board of Trustees President, Jim Elcock ’77, P'08 addressed the class and encouraged them to take part in and enjoy the traditions that define the St. Sebastian’s experience going forward and to hold close the relationships they have made here. Mr. Elcock also presented each of the graduates with a book, Jayber Crow, by Wendell Berry, a favorite of Headmaster Burke.  Mr. Elcock encouraged the Class of 2023 to read the book and circle back to Mr. Burke to discuss it in the future. Alumni Board President, Peter Galligan ’74 stressed the importance of relationships made at St. Sebastian’s including friends, faculty and staff. Following his remarks, Galligan was recognized for his three years of service as Alumni Board President.  Peter’s term ends with the 2024 Commencement.  Thank you, Peter!

Headmaster Burke encouraged the seniors to focus on the three S’s…Slow down and take it all in, Savor the final days together, and Say the things that need to be said to your classmates and teachers who made your time at St. Sebastian’s what it was. Congratulations to the Class of 2024 as you embark on an exciting final week at your School!
