Announcing Cardigan’s 2019-20 Student Leaders

On Thursday night May 9, the Cardigan community convened in the Chapel for the Investiture Assembly. An annual event held every spring, Investiture is the culmination of the lengthy process of selecting the student leaders for following academic year. Fifty-three boys embraced our Core Value of courage and applied for one of the 28 titled positions available, which include school leader, athletics assistant, floor leader, chapel leader, and more.

Director of Student Life Nick Nowak began the proceedings by speaking about the importance of Investiture. “It is significant in both the formality of the ceremony, as well as the tradition it stands for,” said Mr. Nowak. “Tonight’s ceremony continues the long line of tradition, and links each title leader to the boys who have come before.”

Following Mr. Nowak’s remarks, each of the School’s current 2018-19 leaders approached the podium and announced the name of the student who will be leading his fellow students in that role next year. As each new leader came forward, he shook the hand of his counterpart and turned for a photo. All of the new 2019-20 leaders then sat together for the remainder of the ceremony.
