Lakehill's Baccalaureate Ceremony was held on Sunday, May 17 at Lakehill's Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center. 

A time-honored Lakehill tradition, the ceremony provides an opportunity for each member of the graduating class to publicly thank the people who have made it possible for them to get to this moment of achievement in their lives. The afternoon of thoughtful reflection and heartfelt emotion provided a more intimate opportunity to pause and reflect on this rite of passage.

Members of the Senior Class are currently completing two-week internships as part of their graduation requirements. They will take their final walk across the Lakehill stage on Friday, May 29 in Lakehill's forty-second Commencement Ceremony.

Lakehill's Little Sprouts Garden is providing a vital learning lab for students.

Melissa Carpenter, Director of Environmental Education at the Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center, created the small, elevated garden a few years ago so that Lower School students would have a place to experience hands-on learning as they studied cycles of plant growth. 

To give the lab area an identity, Lakehill students and the Parent Faculty Club got involved and transformed the anonymous space. In 2012, Taylor Gardsbane, then a second-grader, won the Lower School's contest to name the garden with her submission of "Little Sprouts Garden."
