We're ready for pictures of the Class of 2025. Collection boxes are at the 19th Avenue main entrance. See the senior memory wall on the second floor hallway between Hassenfeld Library and Durnan Auditorium in late April, but we need your photos first.
By the 2025 Memory Wall Committee
As we approach the culmination of your student’s journey at USN, we are excited to begin assembling the beloved Senior Memory Wall — a cherished tradition that honors our graduating class.
Each year, parents, faculty, staff, and students contribute photos and memorabilia that are displayed on bulletin boards in the school’s second floor hallway between Durnan Auditorium and the Hassenfeld Library. The display will be set up in early May and will serve as a meaningful highlight following Convocation and during the Commencement reception.
To make this tribute special, we need your help! We kindly ask you to submit photos of your student —individually or in groups — at any age during their time at USN or at any USN-related activities, including:
Lower School: Grandparents’ Day, Turkey Trot, Operetta, field trips, Field Day, Holiday Sing-Alongs, After School activities, 100th Day Celebration
Middle School: Class trips (Memphis, Pisgah, Out of These Doors), athletics, performing arts, Eighth Grade Celebration
High School: Class retreats, plays/musicals, Cabaret Night, dance, choral and band performances, community service activities and clubs, Community Action Day, athletics, Sports Recognition Nights, Senior Induction, Mock Trial, math competitions, Homecoming/Spirit Week, Prom
All-School Events: Popsicle Party, International Fair, Fall Fest, Centennial Year activities
From each family, we welcome up to five photos from Lower School, five from Middle School, and ten from High School, along with any additional group photos or memorabilia that capture special moments.
Important Submission Guidelines:
Please submit copies of photos — no originals. You may print copies at CVS, Walgreens, Target, or on photo paper at home.
Photos and memorabilia will not be returned.
Clearly label all photos with your student’s name (and any other students in the photo) and the grade level at the time the photo was taken.
Deadline: Deliver your items to the Senior Memory Wall box at the 19th Avenue entrance by Monday, April 14.
We want to celebrate every graduating senior, and your contributions will help make this tribute truly special. If you have any questions, please email USN parents Joanna Hall and Tonia Klein.
Thank you for helping us create a meaningful and memorable tribute to the Class of 2025!

In an inspiring new initiative, USN's health care career spotlight, organized by Ruchika Ramachandran ’27 and Yvonne Wang ’27, brought a wealth of alumni back to the school for an evening of shared expertise and personal stories.
