CHARLOTTE, NC - Trinity Episcopal School held its Commencement Ceremony for its Class of 2012 eighth-grade class on Wednesday, June 6, 1:30pm, in the school Gymnasium.
Surrounded by family, faculty/administrators, Board members, fellow students and TES alums, these 40 rising ninth-graders, 21 of whom are "Lifer" students of the School, said goodbye to their days at Trinity and eagerly began looking ahead to high school. "Lifers" are students who attended Trinity, kindergarten through eighth-grade.
 In keeping with tradition, the School honored the following eighth-graders during the ceremony - the ninth in Trinity's history - for their outstanding leadership, service to the School and the embodiment of the School's mission and core values throughout their tenures (pictured left to right with Head of School Tom Franz):
