St. Andrew’s seniors joined the ranks of the SAS Alumni Association this spring, celebrating their commencement together on May 31, 2025.
“We’re all sitting here today because at some point, we all did something hard. We chose to commit,” said St. Andrew’s student, Luke McGrath, in his graduation address to the Class of 2025. “Something, or someone, inspired and encouraged us to lean into something we loved and do more than we thought possible.”
On May 31st, 2025, St. Andrew’s Class of 2025 joined with loved ones alongside St. Andrew’s faculty, staff and community at the Upper School Southwest Parkway campus in Southwest Austin to finish the school year on a high note and celebrate their achievements together — as scholars, artists, athletes and servants — at a joyous graduation commencement event.
The day began with the seniors coming together for a class photo, followed by Eucharist in the Upper School Chapel. Students and their families listened to inspiring graduation speeches given by History Department Chair and Class of 2025 Dean, Justin Jones, and SAS senior, Luke McGrath, and walked the stage for the presentation of diplomas.
The graduation celebration closed with a cherished St. Andrew’s tradition — faculty formed a farewell line to receive the Class of 2025 graduates, giving each senior the chance to say farewell to all who walked with them on their St. Andrew's journey, long or short.
