The Class of 2026 has officially begun the countdown to Commencement with one of Chatham Hall’s most beloved traditions, the 100 Days ’til Graduation Ceremony. This meaningful milestone marks the final stretch of the senior year and offers a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate how far these students have come.
Dressed in white, each senior was individually recognized and presented with an iris, a symbol rich with meaning in the life of the School. In a tradition that highlights the relationships at the heart of a Chatham Hall education, the class selects the faculty members who will take part in the ceremony. This year, the Class of 2026 chose Kieran Conrad to present the irises and Dan Waters to read their names, making the moment even more personal and memorable.
As each name was called and each iris placed in hand, the ceremony honored not only accomplishments, but growth, resilience, leadership, and sisterhood. With just 100 days remaining until they cross the Commencement stage, we celebrate the remarkable young women of the Class of 2026 and all that lies ahead for them.
