Each May, commencement celebrates the culmination of each girl’s Saint Mary’s education, as seniors process from Smedes Hall through the Grove of stately oak trees to receive their high school diplomas in a beautiful, traditional ceremony filled with pomp and circumstance and joy. By all accounts, Saint Mary’s commencement embodies personal touches of academic excellence, personal achievement, friendship, tradition, grace, honor, dignity, and courage that are hallmarks of the Saint Mary’s experience.
