Commencement
It is time to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2025!
131st Commencement of Pomfret School
Your child has accomplished so much to get here. Now it's time for us to celebrate those achievements! The 131st Commencement of Pomfret School will take place on Sunday, May 25 at 11:00 a.m. outdoors on the Clark Chapel Lawn. The ceremony will be followed by a luncheon in the dining hall, beginning at 12:30 p.m. We look forward to hosting you.
There is no limit to the number of people who can attend Commencement Weekend events, with one exception. Due to the limited seating capacity of Clark Chapel, we are only able to accommodate two family members per graduate for the Baccalaureate Service.
Family and friends who are unable to attend Commencement Weekend are invited to watch Baccalaureate and Commencement at pomfret.org/live.
Contact Manager of Events Becky Grassi at (860) 963-6197 with any questions.
