Commencement 2026

Congratulations to the members of the Class of 2026 and their families! Loomis Chaffee celebrated our graduates at the school’s 110th Commencement on Sunday, May 24.

110th Commencement: A Family Affair

The 110th Commencement, with persistent rain unable to quell enthusiasm, was held under a tent in Grubbs Quadrangle on Sunday, May 24. This year 198 graduates, family, friends, faculty, staff, and members of the Board of Trustees gathered to celebrate each student’s transition. Commencement Speaker Jan Singer, mother of graduating seniors Max and Sophie, and Class Speaker Max Shactman each talked about kindness as part of their messages to the Class of 2026.
