Cate School graduated 62 seniors during its May 24 commencement ceremony.
In the words of student commencement speaker Madelynn Johnston, “Before starting school at Cate, I was overwhelmed by not knowing. But now I can’t wait to find out more. … So here we are, at the brink, a watershed moment of our lives. It’s time to step forward once again into the unknown, because we have so much more to learn.”
