Closing2022

On June 18, 2022, we celebrated our 143rd Closing at Lakefield College School including our Friday All School Chapel and Celebration of Light the evening before.
You need to keep pushing for a better world because you, Class of 2022, are limitless.

Retirement Recognition

During our 2022 Closing Ceremony, we honoured several valued members of the LCS community who have chosen to retire. We honoured these people during our Closing Ceremony with a special remembrance and recognition of the impact they have made on our school.
 
Thank you and congratulations to Pam Birrell P '13, John Boyko P '00, Su Armstrong P '13 '15, and Mike Arsenault P '00 '03 '04. 
Today, Grads, as you walked down the road to get under our tent, I hope you felt a strong sense of belonging to our caring community. I hope you were reminded of how vital it is to share—away from screens—emotions and experiences.

— Anne-Marie Kee P'17 '19, Head of School and Foundation
