Principal Kevin Mullally set the tone for the Marist School commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 25, by emphasizing the role of memories in shaping beliefs and providing a solid educational foundation. He highlighted notable memories that the graduating Class of 2024 may cherish from their time at Marist, including 10,348 hours in service to others, 963 books checked out from the library, 192 unique courses taken, and five athletic state championships in their final academic year. He said, “Graduates, let your memories of Marist—of the good work you have done here, of the good work you have done for others while here, all of which we acknowledge and honor and lift up this morning—be a reminder to you of the very best within you. Of all you are capable of and of who you are called by God to be as your formation in the image of his son continues throughout your lives. Let these memories preserve and sustain you in the very good and sometimes difficult times to come. May they be a reminder to you of just how much all of us here care for you and want the very best for you. Just be sure to come back and tell us all about what you do from here.”
