LAKE PLACID — Three large tents equipped with large video screens provided a socially distant viewing experience as the 114th Northwood School commencement took place on the school campus Saturday.

A livestream was available for those unable to attend due to capacity limits or travel restrictions.

The commencement began and concluded with a bagpiper processional. Michael J. Maher, head of school, welcomed and presented the students their diplomas. The opening invocation and benediction were read by Stephen Reed, senior master. Noel Carmichael presented senior awards and prizes, and Maher presented headmaster awards. Donald P. Mellor, Class of 1971 and retired teacher, gave the commencement address. The class speakers were Adelia Castillo and Lars Kroes.

Sixteen of the 75 graduates are local day students who reside full-time in the area: Kaiya Belisle, Amelia Brady, Ellie Colby, Ava Day, Haley Donatello, Sara Ellsworth, Audrey Higgins-Lopez, Lealani Kidd, Madison Kostoss, Lars Kroes, Maximilian Oechsner, Chase Ormiston, Charles Purcell, Noah Pittman, Sarah Sheridan and Zachary Zientko.
