Moorestown Friends School Graduation Set For Saturday

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Seventy students will receive their degrees during the Moorestown Friends School’s commencement ceremony on Saturday, June 8, 7 p.m. at the school, school officials announced.

The graduation ceremony is scheduled to be held outside, with seniors exiting from the doors of the Upper School and walking around the driveway known as The Oval to the group seating area. In case of inclement weather, Commencement will be held in the Baiada Field House.

Director of the Camden Scholars Program, Math Teacher, and Middle School Diversity Coordinator Dorothy López will be a commencement speaker. Graduating seniors Serena Lin, of Moorestown, and Andrew Rowan, of Cherry Hill, will also be commencement speakers. Lin will attend Yale University. Rowan will attend Northwestern University.

Commencement speakers are selected by members of the senior class. Moorestown Friends School does not compute class rankings or designate valedictorians/salutatorians. Traditionally, one male and one female student are selected along with a teacher, and it is considered an honor to be chosen.
