Congratulations to the Class of 2019!

This past weekend, we celebrated the 131 members of the Class of 2019 during a Baccalaureate Mass on Saturday night and our Commencement exercises on Sunday morning. Their Commencement speaker was Christopher Helfrich H'19, a former student whose family moved to Connecticut after his sophomore year, but who has remained in touch with many of his teachers at Gilmour and credits Gilmour’s mission-focused curriculum and the school’s culture of service with helping him trailblaze in his field. Today he serves as the CEO of Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. He encouraged each graduate to embrace the notion that no matter what profession they ultimately choose, they should feel called to be leaders who know what to do with the knowledge they acquire. He stressed the importance of being people “who understand that the measure of a life well-lived is less what you accumulate, and more what you contribute.”

The Class of 2019 was a remarkable class. In addition to logging more than 10,270 service hours (and those are just the ones they recorded), they were standout students, athletes, musicians, actors and researchers. They will now take their talents to 71 colleges and universities in 27 states and 2 foreign countries. As a class, they earned nearly $11 million in scholarships and 27 have committed to compete in their sport at the next level.
