Graduation 2020

The 15th Commencement Exercises of The Montfort Academy took place on Friday evening June 5, 2020 in the parking lot of Immaculate Conception Parish in Tuckahoe at the generous and kind invitation of pastor Fr. Anthony Sorgie, who also gave the Commencement Address. One by one, students left their cars to deliver remarks in Greek, Latin, and English; to receive special awards; and to receive their diplomas. Through the pouring rain accompanied by the blaring of car horns and sirens for applause throughout, Montfort's foundational academic and spiritual preparation of her students, her beautiful traditions, and her deep love and care for her students gloriously shone for twenty-seven graduates and their families as well as over 1000 viewers on Facebook Live. It was, by far, the most memorable graduation in the Academy's history, and we invite you to participate in the memories, too.

The entire two and a half hour ceremony video is below, along with photographic highlights and a video from NBC News. The Graduation Mass and Senior Dinner were held virtually the evening prior.

(Please note the blue and gold face masks, lovingly hand-made by math teacher Catherine Halleran for each of our graduates.)
