End-of-Year Events: Athletic Banquet & Class Night

Randolph-Macon Academy’s Class of 2015 might have been small, but their accomplishments were great. Comprised of 59 seniors and two postgraduates, the Class of 2015 earned 228 college acceptances to 140 different colleges and universities, and received nearly $6.7 million in college scholarship offers. In addition, the five Falcon Scholars who attended the school this year each earned an appointment to the Air Force Academy.

Amidst the events held May 28-30, 2015, was an atmosphere of celebration and friendship that past R-MA graduating classes will remember well. The Class of 2015 shed tears as they recalled shared memories and prepared to say their final farewells.  

Here are a few of the highlights of the weekend:

Athletic Banquet

The seniors received plaques and the award winners in each sport received their honors as well. Amy Gray ’15, Tyler Vaughan ’15, and Austin Lee ’15 each spoke at the event.

Class Night

For Jacob Dodson ‘15, Class Night on May 28th was certainly the highlight of the week as he addressed his fellow students as salutatorian and was named Best All-Around Cadet. Class President Natalie Pendie also spoke to her classmates.
