Congratulations to the Class of 2018!

Congratulations to the 68 members of the Class of 2018, who graduated from Berkeley Carroll on June 1 at the school's 131st Commencement Exercises!

Matthew A. '18 and Ellie P. '18 both spoke on behalf of the graduating class, Matthew as the senior class president and Ellie as the class speaker, chosen by faculty. Irshad Manji, the internationally acclaimed educator, author, filmmaker, and founder/director of the Moral Courage Project gave this year's Commencement address. She spoke about the importance of engaging with people who disagree with you.

"When you encounter dogma on your own side, ask yourself, 'Is this the best way to make an enduring difference?'"

Ms. Manji also challenged the graduating class to form a relationship with someone with a different worldview from them.

"Ask not how you can change their mind. Ask what you're missing in them."

The Upper School Choir also performed "Homeward Bound" by Marta Keen, arranged by Jay Althouse, and directed by Lisa Holsberg.
