Senior Updates

As the school year comes to a close in just two months, the Senior Class of 2026 has an exciting lineup of events and important updates to keep in mind. From a glimpse of the end-of-year celebrations to deadlines, here’s everything seniors need to know to prepare to close out their last year of high school.

Project Graduation: Project Graduation is a safe, supervised overnight celebration held after the graduation ceremony. The event gives seniors a chance to celebrate together one last time before the class parts ways. This year the event will take place at the Woodbridge Community Center, with students departing Brearley via buses at 10:00 PM and returning at approximately 3:00 AM. All parents of seniors should have received information about Project Graduation by email. While the event is free this year, parents must submit a $50 security-deposit check before May 1. This check will only be cashed if the student does not attend Project Graduation. After May 1, the cost increases to $75, and those checks will be cashed.

Yearbook Sales: As of April 14, there are only 20 yearbooks available for purchase. The yearbook is filled with photos and memories from this school year, so consider purchasing one if you want a keepsake of your senior year. Prices start at $140. Seniors can purchase their yearbook online here.

Prom — May 21, 2026: Prom will be held on May 21 at the Sapphire Grand in Woodbridge, NJ. Students must be present at school that day to attend. If you plan to leave early at the conclusion of Period 4, a parent-signed permission form is required (even if you are 18). Obtain the form from Ms. Logan’s room or the main office.

Senior Awards & ABC Awards — June 11, 2026: These ceremonies recognize students receiving scholarships as well as their academic achievements. The ABC Awards are presented first, typically honoring the top three individuals in each class. The Senior Awards follow, where scholarships are awarded. Both events take place the same evening.

Senior Trip — June 12, 2026: The Senior Trip is a fun, end-of-year getaway for the class to relax and spend time together before graduation. It will be held at Pocono Valley Resort on June 12, with students departing from Brearley at approximately 8:30 AM and returning in the late evening. The resort includes activities such as sports courts, swimming, paddle boarding, zip-lining, and more.

Graduation — June 24, 2026: The moment everyone has been waiting for! Graduation will take place on June 24 at 7:30 PM. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors, but the procession is scheduled to be outdoors at Ward Field (football/soccer field). Be sure to invite family and friends to celebrate this milestone achievement!
