ST. ED'S HOSTS FUN-FILLED COLLEGE DECISION DAY FOR GRADUATING SENIORS

From lawn games to carnival foods, seniors participated in a fun-filled day-long celebration, hosted by the College Counseling Department, to commemorate their National Decision Day. Captured in the video put together by Cole Corcoran '21 (below), seniors had a great time celebrating their completed application processes and the paths they'll be pursuing after graduation.

"Despite the challenges of a college search and application process during a global pandemic, the class of 2021 did a great job! The shutdown forced them to be more creative and independent in how they learned about and connected with colleges and universities," says Director of College Counseling and College Counselor Moira O'Riordan. "The way they supported each other this past year clearly demonstrated the strength of the bonds and brotherhood. Also, what is really interesting to me is that the schools to which they applied and were accepted were more diverse than ever."

Congratulations and good luck to our Class of 2021 graduating seniors on all of their future endeavors:
