Celebrating Our Seniors

University School of Milwaukee held its annual Senior Send-Off event on Thursday, May 21 to celebrate this year’s 111 graduating seniors on their last official day of the school year. Seniors entered 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 School Steve Hancock. The students and guests also heard messages of gratitude from senior prefects Willy Art, Nikhil Lazzaro, Anastasia Marich, Davie Moalusi, Read Tuttle, and Zara Vaseem.

The event capped a full week of activities for seniors, including a brunch and tour of the USM tower for lifer students, where they were able to add their signatures to those of previous graduates; the Upper School honors assembly; the senior college T-shirt photo; the unveiling of a trail on campus gifted to the school by members of the Class of 2026; and the celebratory senior dinner for students, their parents, and teachers and advisors.

USM is proud to celebrate the many accomplishments of the Class of 2026, and is excited to follow them on their journey after graduation. Commencement for seniors will be held on Saturday, May 30 at 5 p.m., with Susan Zarwell ’87 sharing the Commencement address. Visitors are invited to attend, or watch a livestream of the event here.
