The 2025–2026 academic year kicked off with a Convocation celebrating the Milton community and the leadership of the Class of 2026.
Co-head monitors Nehemiah Sanon ’26 and Patrycja Porogzelska ’26 shared some inspiring words, reminding all of us that our community can serve as an anchor in the moments we feel adrift—and that failures present great opportunities to learn and grow. “We are all so incredibly lucky to be in a school that allows us and encourages us to fail and learn so that we can succeed,” Patrycja said. “Each failure is a chance to learn something new about yourself, to meet the people who are trying with you and to discover paths you might not have found otherwise.”
“No matter what you’re doing at Milton, be present,” said Nehemiah. “And remember why you’re here.”
