Godspeed to the Class of 2022!
To all of our graduating Dragons, we will never forget your energy, your smiles, and all of your contributions to St. Michael's. We hope you will always carry the knowledge, values, and friendships you acquired at our School in your minds and hearts. As you head out to new high schools and new adventures, our best wishes, love, and support go with you!
Remember: Once a Dragon, ALWAYS a Dragon!

| Closing Ceremonies for Grades K-7
Closing ceremonies are not only opportunities to announce awards for writing, math, and citizenship, but also to finish the school year together in song and prayer. We believe gathering as a community for these ceremonies is also an important part of the School's cultural fabric. The schedule by grade is below.
STUDENT DRESS CODE: Long pants/collared dress shirt/tie, skirt and blouse, pants and blouse, or dress.
SEATING/GUESTS: Due to location space limitations, each student may bring two guests.
- Siblings are allowed to attend Lower School Closing Exercises.
- Due to space constraints and class sizes, only two guests may attend the Middle School Closing Exercises.
Lower School parents who are attending multiple Lower School Closings may gather on the Singleton Hall back patio in between closings.
