Maplebrook graduates 11

AMENIA — The 11 graduates among the Maplebrook School Class of 2022 couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate their commencement among friends, family and faculty on Saturday, June 4. Starting at 2 p.m., two sets of students graduated at the school’s commencement ceremony, including six graduates from the Academy Program and five graduates from the Institute of Collegiate and Career Studies.

Earlier that day, the school held its annual awards ceremony; several merit scholarships and special awards were distributed at the graduation ceremony in the afternoon. After turning their tassels, the graduates were warmly received by more than 200 classmates, friends, faculty and family members at the ceremony’s coffee and cake reception.
