Graduation is a KDS tradition which involves many activities and much preparation. It is the culmination of thirteen years of work and serves as the starting point for the next phase of these students’ young lives. At Kate Duncan Smith DAR School, we were thrilled to celebrate our Class of 2025 during Graduation and Awards Day on Thursday, May 15th . It was such a special time to applaud the accomplishments of the 84 outstanding young men and women who graduated.
