June 22, 2022: The Bronxville High School Graduation was held last Saturday, June 18th, with all the pomp and circumstance befitting such an occasion.
It was the 100th commencement in the school, and there were a total of 126 graduates. Erin Foley, grade 12 president, and Peter Coquillette, president of the Student Faculty Legislature (SFL), spoke on behalf of their class.
The guest speaker was Bronxville resident Francesco Clark '96, author and founder of Clark's Botanicals skincare. Clark encouraged the graduates to "know the power of their voice" and "to work toward building the most beautiful life that you know you will have." He also reminded them of the power of the Bronxville community.
Finally, Nathan Barr '91, a Grammy award winning composer, wrote an original piece "The Bronxville High School Centennial Theme," which was performed by the Bronxville High School Band.
Bronxville resident David Fenner captured the fun and excitement in the photo gallery below. Enjoy!

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
