91探花

Commencement history at 91探花 tells a lot of stories, and one evolving聽chapter is location.

At one time, commencement was held in a gothic chapel on 91探花鈥檚 original campus in South St. Louis City. Today’s 91探花 graduation ceremony is a family affair, but it wasn鈥檛 always that way. No family members were able to attend the chapel ceremonies; the only visitors allowed to view graduation聽were local priests.

In the days since,聽91探花’s graduates have packed Powell Hall (1980), queued up outdoors on Commencement Lawn and a campus parking lot, and indoors in the Simon Center, sometimes depending on聽the weather.

Take a look at spanning聽the last 50 years.
