Graduation 2008
 One-hundred-eighty-five seniors received their Milton Academy diplomas during the School's graduation exercises on Friday, June 6, 2008. A longstanding tradition of the ceremony is the election of student valedictorian speakers to assure seniors that they will, at their last Milton gathering, hear from classmates they have chosen. This year’s student body elected Samuel Panarese and Elizabeth Bloom. Delivering the commencement address was alumna Jehane Noujaim, Milton Academy Class of 1992. Jehane is not only a successful, young, provocative documentary producer and filmmaker; she is an international activist who believes passionately in the power of film to help move people toward global acceptance of diversity.

Alyson Friedensohn ’08 Receives National All-American Award from U.S. Lacrosse
 Alyson Friedensohn (I) has been recognized by U.S. Lacrosse as a National All-American Honorable Mention. Alyson has been a starter on the varsity lacrosse team all four years of her high school career. This season she was the team’s co-captain and led the Mustang squad statistically in both goals (65) and assists (29). Coach C.J. Navins says of Alyson, “She is a dominant presence on the field. Her innate field sense, speed, accuracy and depth of shot selection make her the kind of dynamic attacker that other teams strategize ways to defend, as she inevitably tallies the majority of Milton’s goals. Her offensive creativity and ability to find the back of the net speaks for itself with 224 career goals and 80 career assists.” Alyson was voted Milton’s MVP by her teammates and received ISL All-League first team honors. She will continue her lacrosse career this fall at Division I Johns Hopkins University.
