Senior Day '26

The 217 members of the Class of 2026 celebrated an amazing Senior Day on Friday (May 1)!

The seniors' final school day at Jesuit began, as Senior Day always does, at Convocation with the farewell address from the Student Council president, which was delivered with gratitude and humor by Robert Bogle '26. The morning included the drone photo of the seniors making the '26 shape in the baseball outfield, class breakfast, the viewing of senior videos in the Shembekar Auditorium, the awarding of Senior Notables (see the list of winner below), and Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

Just before Noon, everyone boarded one of four buses and headed to TPepin's Hospitality Centre for the Senior-Alumni Luncheon! There, the Alumnus of the Year, Blake Casper '91, gave a heartfelt, introspective, and impactful message to his fellow alumni. Kaleb Smith '26 was the student speaker, and he addressed his classmates about his experience at Jesuit summer camps as a youth, and then his acceptance to and enrollment at Jesuit. He shared what the school has meant to his life, and encouraged his classmates to give back to Jesuit as alumni.

Many seniors will be on campus the next two weeks for AP Exams, as well as the next few days for Senior Exams. Baccalaureate Mass is May 21 in Holy Cross Chapel, and Graduation is May 22 at the Straz Center downtown.
