Held in a more formal setting, Senior Dinner provides students with a chance to pause amid the excitement and emotions of graduation season. Dressed for the occasion, seniors gather for an elegant evening of shared conversation, laughter, and reflection with classmates who have become like family over the past four years.

One of the highlights of the evening is the distribution of yearbooks, a long-awaited tradition that marks the nearing end of each student’s St. Stephen’s journey. As students receive and sign one another’s yearbooks, the room fills with heartfelt messages, inside jokes, words of encouragement, and memories that capture the unique bonds formed during their high school years.

These handwritten notes become treasured keepsakes—small but powerful reminders of friendships, challenges overcome, and moments shared both inside and outside the classroom.

Beyond the dinner itself, the evening serves as an important moment of reflection. Students have the opportunity to look back on their last four years at St. Stephen’s—the academic growth, personal challenges, triumphs, adventures, and transformative experiences that have shaped them into the young adults they are today.

Senior Dinner is also a reminder that while one chapter is coming to an end, another is just beginning. As our graduates prepare to leave campus and embark on new journeys at universities and beyond, the evening offers a final chance to celebrate not only where they have been, but also where they are headed.

While they may soon scatter across the world, the friendships, memories, and sense of community forged at St. Stephen’s will remain with them for years to come.

We are incredibly proud of the graduating class and all they have accomplished. We wish them every success in the exciting next chapter of their lives and know they will always remain an important part of the St. Stephen’s family.
