PRISMS Celebrates the Class of 2025

On Saturday June 7, the PRISMS community proudly graduated its 2025 senior class in a ceremony led by Madam Pengzhi Liu; Board Chair, Head of Schools, and Principal of PRISMS. Though the weather was wet, spirits were high as administrators, faculty, current students, families, and honored guests gathered to celebrate the graduates' rite of passage.

Following the school officials, the seniors processed into the tent, many with caps lovingly decorated for the occasion, some adorning their walk down the aisle with a personal flourish or a shout-out to friends. The audience enjoyed a lively montage video of the seniors enjoying their favorite activities in their favorite spots around campus-the PiLab, Field of Swings, Koi Pond, Dorm Commons, Art Studio, Basketball Court, Chemistry Lab, and so on.

Madam Liu and Charles Waller, Board Co-Chair, collaborated on the keynote address, highlighting the school's new leadership team, improvements in school policies, the growth of our student life program, our faculty's commitment to our school's philosophy of love and respect, and the many outstanding achievements of our students. Madam Liu's remarks also looked to the future, highlighting opportunities ahead for PRISMS to build on its record of success-to grow and expand to fulfill her vision of global academic excellence.

Following a musical performance by senior members of the PRISMS Theater Club, each senior was lauded by a faculty member with a personal encomium before receiving their diploma and being graduated by Co-Principals Adam Kemp and Joseph Li. Undeterred by the rainy weather, families enjoyed a tearful, joyous reception with lots of selfies, yearbook signatures, and of course, sweet treats from the ice cream truck. Overall, the day was a beautiful reminder of PRISMS strong leadership, healthy community, and bright future-a future sure to be shaped by the Class of 2025!
