Prep School Baccalaureate Ceremony

Typically occurring one or more days before the graduation or commencement ceremony, the Baccalaureate Ceremony traditionally begins with a procession of the degree candidates. It may include hymns, prayers, readings, reflections and student speeches. It is often a faith-based occasion. The ceremony itself is more serious than the commencement, with a focus on reflection. The ceremony is a final farewell sermon to graduates. 

The ceremony included reflections from Cadet Candidates, advice from silver medalist Paralympian and veteran John Register and the inaugural presentation of the Ch (Maj. Gen.) Charles I. Carpenter White Rope Leadership Award.
