Celebrating Our Seniors

Celebrating Our Seniors

University School of Milwaukee held its annual Senior Send Off event on Friday, May 19 to celebrate this year’s graduating seniors on their last official day of the school year. Seniors entered the Don Forti Stadium hand-in-hand with their kindergarten buddies, where they enjoyed special cheers and messages of good luck from Lower School and Middle School students, as well as Head of Upper School Dr. Gina Haughton and Head of School Steve Hancock.

The event capped a week of activities for seniors, including a brunch and tour of the USM tower for lifer students, the Upper School honors assembly, a visit to the senior class bench and grove, and the senior college T-shirt photo. The senior class bench and grove are located on the west side of campus near the head of school’s residence. The bench was generously gifted to the school by the Class of 2023, and serves as an inviting addition to campus to be enjoyed by all community members. 

USM is proud to celebrate the many accomplishments of the Class of 2023, and is excited to follow them on their journey after graduation.
