Introduction by Head Master Liz Duffy:

An intellectual powerhouse in the classroom, Shubham Chattopadhyay is an extraordinary student who excels in everything he does. “The mind of an investigative journalist,” “engaging,” “stellar,” “a voracious learner, feeler and participant” – these are some of the phrases faculty use to describe Shubham.

School President Nick Fenton '13 began the year with a request. "I want our school to come together like never before," he told Lawrentians. "Be happy here. Be friendly here. And, most importantly, be yourself here." Class of 2013, you did exactly that, exemplifying the year's theme of UNITY while remaining true to yourselves in ways too numerous to list. Here's to the Lawrenceville School Class of 2013! The entire School Community wishes you every success and looks forward to seeing you at future Alumni Weekends!

A dunking booth in the Circle? Ponies? A train? It must be Springfest!

Each year, hundreds of local youngsters, all participants in the School's Community Service program, gather at Lawrenceville for an afternoon fair. The boys and girls, along with their Lawrentian escorts, enjoyed all sorts of carnival rides and treats. Each House ran a game (including a ring toss, golfing, and a football throw) allowing kids to return home with pockets full of prizes. Youngsters rode ponies and scooters, jumped in Moon Bounce castle, and whizzed down an enormous inflatable slide. They also tooled around the Circle in "Ruthie," a three-car train.

The Lawrenceville School's Board of Trustees has elected new leadership: Thomas L. Carter, Jr. of Houston, a Board member since 1998, will become Board president effective July 1; Darrell A. Fitzgerald of Atlanta, a trustee since 2001, will become vice president. Both will serve through June 2017. Carter and Fitzgerald are both Lawrenceville alumni, having graduated from the School in 1970 and 1968, respectively.
