What is the schedule of Chapel Talks for this academic year?
These talks have become a significant and beloved part of school culture over time. The senior chapel program was initiated by former Headmaster Brad Hastings ’68 as an important milestone experience for members of the senior class. Seniors often realize in this learning and discovery process that it sometimes takes a task like this to reveal significant personal beliefs, experiences, hopes, and convictions. Every member of the senior class is required to deliver a short talk in front of the assembled school as a condition of graduation. These chapel talks raise our community up, remind us of what it means to be human, and challenge us to be our truest selves. Typically, each chapel meeting allows for three senior chapel talks.
Each senior develops his or her authentic ideas and makes creative decisions around the what, why, and how of chapel talks in conjunction with the faculty advisor and Director of Spiritual Life Bobby Fisher. Chapel talks are 6-8 minutes in length, livestreamed, and recorded by the Pomfret Communications Office.
