Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 3 days ago New Trier returns to Welsh-Ryan Arena to graduate 941 students Megan Bernard Contributing Editor New Trier High School welcomed 941 seniors and their families Sunday, June 2, into the remodeled Welsh-Ryan Arena at Northwestern University for its 2019 commencement ceremony. The Class of 2019 is smaller than previous classes at New Trier; however, that did not deter them from making a lasting impact, Winnetka principal Denise Dubravec said. “There is a real personal investment with our students within not only their academics and extracurricular and service; it’s broad and wide, beyond the community of New Trier,” Dubravec said. “They are compassionate kids.” At commencement, senior Barbara Neumann, of Winnetka, spoke on behalf of her class. Beforehand, she told The Beacon that she was excited. “I wanted to give the speech because I’m so grateful for my experience at New Trier,” she said. “I wanted to share my pride with everyone.” Neumann said New Trier’s motto has inspired her throughout her four years at the high school. Next year, she’ll continue implementing the motto and further her studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison’s business school. “What an inspiring blueprint to shape our lives moving forward: to continue to commit our minds to inquiry, hearts to compassion and lives to service,” Neumann said while addressing her class at commencement. “We have been given the tools to reach higher and be better — to live the motto of New Trier — and now it is your time to do it. “Be passionate about something, anything, commit your mind to it, get involved, and leave your mark, no matter how small. You don’t have to be the president of the United States — who says you couldn’t? — or end world hunger, but do something.” Other seniors, Christopher Kuhn, Madeline Malueg and Kelly McNulty, presented the class gift. They served on the Habitat for Humanity Leadership board, and helped build a home with their class this year, similar to years past. Alumnus Peter Henry, New Trier Class of 1987, also spoke as the featured alumni speaker.

N. Stern School of Business. The youngest person to hold the position, he assumed the deanship in January 2010 and joined the NYU Stern Faculty as the William R. Berkley professor of economics and finance, according to NYU’s website. The addition of a alumni speaker at New Trier’s commencement began three years ago, Dubruvec said. Previous speakers include former ABC news reporter and White House correspondent Ann Compton and actor Rainn Wilson. In 2017 and 2018, the Winnetka high school’s graduation moved to Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates while Welsh-Ryan Arena underwent a major remodel. Looking forward, Dubravec said New Trier’s commencement will return to Hoffman Estates due to the limited amount of seats at Welsh-Ryan. “The new arena is beautiful, but we lost some seats there,” Dubravec said, adding nearly 1,600 seats were eliminated in the project. “It’s somewhat of a challenge with our Graduate Josh Hoffman, of Wilmette, signals to family while walking in with Hannah Richards during the New Trier commencement ceremony Sunday, June 2, at Northwestern University’s Welsh-Ryan Arena.

We didn’t anticipate that, so we are going back to Sears next year.” Sunday’s ceremony was streamed online, and is still available for viewing at www.newtrier.k12.il.us/ commencement.
