Commencement
Sunday, May 26, 2024
Deerfield’s 225th Commencement was held on May 26, a beautiful spring day that saw the Class of 2024 recognized for their many accomplishments. Senior families were also recognized for their extraordinary generosity, and Dr. Austin was pleased to announce that the Main Dining Room in the new Dining Hall will be named in honor of “the Great Class of 2024!” We wish our new Deerfield alumni success and happiness in all their future endeavors.
For those who couldn’t attend in person or for those who want to relive the remarkable moments, Commencement 2024 is available for viewing online.
