The Class of 2026 has filled our halls—and our hearts—with a joyful, generous spirit that has shaped our school in unforgettable ways. These 93 seniors have brought laughter, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging to our community, showing up for one another with a kind of sisterhood that cannot be measured, but is felt everywhere. They have embraced challenges with courage, immersed themselves in our distinguished academics, and lifted one another up at every turn.

After a college admissions season that brought hundreds of acceptances, these graduates will soon head to 68 colleges and universities across the country and beyond. With strong characters and keen minds, they’re empowered young women ready for college and ready to do good in the world. They know how to take the lead in their own way, how to blaze new trails, and how to create brighter, better futures. Above all, they know that life is for learning and learning is for life.

Go boldly, Class of 2026! We send you into the world with all our love, pride, and support. Know that you will always have a home at Hathaway Brown School as honored alumnae.
