Congratulations to Princeton Friends School's Class of 2021!

PFS congratulates this year's graduates!

PRINCETON, NJ —What a year it has been! This year alone we've experienced a pandemic, snowmageddon, a plague of cicadas, and even an unexpected last day of school fire drill. We were introduced to new ideas like: Quarantine, synchronous, asynchronous, learning pods, Zoom, masking up, elbow shakes, and phrases like, “Melissa, you’re on mute”.

We're so proud of our graduating class! They are thinkers and artists, mathematicians and scientists. They are trail runners and mountain bikers, performers, dancers, and musicians. They revel in their abilities to converse in Chinese or Spanish, work thoughtfully and joyfully with younger students, collaborate to solve problems and care deeply about social justice and the world we live in. They are Princeton Friends School graduates!

This is just the beginning of their journey, and this is where great responsibility comes. We know that they will share their light and lead by example. We are infinitely proud of our graduates and are excited to see where their journeys take them. Please know that Princeton Friends will always be home. We will be here championing your successes and celebrating your courage and resilience and optimism. You are loved.
