Commencement
Commencement at Manlius Pebble Hill School
Each spring, the MPH community gathers to celebrate one of its most meaningful traditions: Commencement. This moment marks both an ending and a beginning—honoring the accomplishments of our graduating seniors while welcoming them into a proud and accomplished alumni network that spans generations.
MPH graduates leave with exceptional preparation and strong academic results. With an average SAT score around 1360 and a 100% four-year college matriculation rate, our students consistently demonstrate the academic strength, curiosity, and independence that colleges value most. Their college lists reflect both ambition and fit, with graduates enrolling at highly selective universities and respected institutions across the country—from major research universities to top liberal arts colleges.
Commencement celebrates more than college placement; it honors the growth of students who have balanced rigorous academics with athletics, arts, leadership, and service. The ceremony reflects the close relationships between students and faculty that define an MPH education and highlights the intellectual confidence and character our graduates carry forward.
As each class crosses the stage, they join an alumni community more than a century in the making—an ever-growing network of artists, entrepreneurs, scholars, scientists, and leaders who continue to shape their fields and communities. We are proud to welcome our newest alumni and look forward to all they will accomplish in college and beyond.
Our graduates stand out!
