Class of 2026 Graduates from The Lawrenceville School

The Class of 2026 graduated on May 24 as The Lawrenceville School celebrated its newest alumni during Commencement exercises. Graduates received their diplomas from Head of School Steve Murray with approval from Board of Trustees President Celeste Mellet ’94. During the ceremony, valedictorian Gloria Yu ’26 delivered the student address, School Chaplain Rev. Dr. Violet Lee gave the invocation, and School Rabbi Lauren Levy offered the benediction.

Before receiving their diplomas, members of the Class of 2026 celebrated two classmates who earned some of the School’s highest honors. The Edward Sutliff Brainard Prize—presented annually to the Fifth Form student held in the highest esteem by the faculty—was awarded to Mila Cooper. The Trustees’ Cup, awarded each year to the student who has most influenced the School for good, was presented to Jael Gaines.

The School also recognized four Fifth Form students who have committed to military service or leadership programs following graduation: Estelle May Chafin ’26, who accepted an appointment to the United States Naval Academy; Andrew Hurlock ’26, who accepted an appointment to the United States Military Academy; Anthony Woo ’26, who will attend Bowdoin College and enroll in Air Force ROTC; and Jabrahlyn Jones ’26, who will attend Virginia Military Institute.
