Charles Wright Academy’s largest graduating class ever, the Class of 2009, was honored at the school’s 46th commencement on Saturday, June 6, on the lawn of the Upper School.  The 81 members of this class elected Upper School Math Teacher Jeremy Stubbs as the faculty speaker and they selected Ishmael Stinson, Katie Young and Phil Gardner as the student speakers.  Click here to watch a four minute video with highlights of the student speeches and photos from graduation.

Awards were presented at graduation to the 2009 Oustanding Alum, Kit Granum ‘74, the Inspirational Faculty Member, PE Teacher and Coach Tyler Francis, and the Murray Foundation Chair Recipient, Learning Specialist Wes Westby.  We’ll be sharing more about each of these amazing individuals over the summer.
