St. Margaret’s Upper School students took part in a beloved tradition in Chapel, as Candlelighting marked the leadership of the Upper School student body ceremoniously being passed from the Class of 2025 to the Class of 2026.
 
Each student in the senior class lit a candle of a junior class member during the ceremony, illuminating the dark chapel with beautiful flickering light. Each candle symbolized the passing of leadership, as the tradition took place on the seniors’ final day of classes. 
 
Students also listened to remarks by outgoing Associated Student Body president Maddie Lewis.
 
“To the Class of 2026, I am excited to pass the flame of leadership to you to see how you will lead and the legacy you will leave,” Maddie said.
 
The traditional vocal performance of “Go Light Your World” was performed by Tessa Maryott, which was followed by the Class of 2025 extinguishing their candles to symbolize the end of their time leading the St. Margaret’s student body, with the privilege of leadership now resting with the Class of 2026.
