The Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences Class of 2016 graduation ceremony was held on
Wednesday, June 15. Family and friends joined faculty, alumni, and the entire student body
to celebrate the achievements of the eighth grade graduating class.
True to tradition, each graduate delivered a speech reflecting back on the experiences,
teachers, field trips, and friendships that defined their Barnesville education. Four of this
year's 12 graduates attended Barnesville since prekindergarten.
Head of School Susanne Johnson previewed the student speeches as inspiration for her
remarks. "When asked what Barnesville has taught you, your comments echoed the core
character values that we work to instill on a daily basis: to be kind, courteous, creative, and
a leader." She continued, "When asked what Barnesville gave you, you responded without
hesitation saying: opportunities, confidence, an amazing school experience, and a place to
call a second home."
Mrs. Johnson then introduced Anne Hundertmark, Barnesville Class of 2012, to deliver the
Graduation Address. Anne recently graduated from Poolesville High School's Humanities
Magnet Program as a member of the Honor Roll; a Girl Scouts Bronze, Silver, and Gold
Award Recipient; Vice President of the National Honor Society; member of National Math
Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society; and First Violin in Poolesville High
School Symphonic Orchestra. Anne will be attending Saint Joseph's University in the fall, as
a member of the Honors College where she received the prestigious Dean's scholarship.
