NSCDS graduates its 100th class at Winnetka school
Submitted by North Shore
Country Day School
North Shore Country Day
School celebrated its 100th graduating
class on Friday, June 7.
This year’s commencement
speakers included senior Mazeed
Oluewu, of Evanston, Head of
School Tom Flemma, of Winnetka,
and former NSCDS social
studies teacher Frank Dachille,
of Louisville, Colo.
As the 53 seniors walked
across the auditorium stage to receive
their diplomas and mark the
end of their time at North Shore,
it also marked the beginning of a
year of centennial celebrations.
To close the commencement ceremony,
the seven “Lifers” (students
who have attended from
kindergarten through 12th grade)
led the graduates outside to lower
the school flag and raise a centennial
flag signed by all members of
the 100th graduating class.
Mazeed Oluewu, of Chicago, delivers the senior class message.
Graduates from Wilmette included
Paula Emília Adriana
Fiegl, Chase Michael Hudson,
Patrick Hennessy Murdock, Caroline
Britton Rice and Olivia Ann
Whitmore. Kenilworth graduates
were Aidan Perry Lennon Martin,
Evan Yen Rao, Abigail Jane Renaud
and Sheridan Elyse Tyson.
A number of centennial events
are in the works. This summer,
members of the school community
will be marching in the Winnetka
Fourth of July parade. In
the fall, alumni and their families,
former faculty and friends of the
school will join current students,
parents, faculty and staff for
Homecoming/Reunion Weekend
