Last Friday, Capitol Squash student Dariel graduated high school from Great Path Academy! He joined Capitol Squash in 5th grade at just 10 years old. Over the years, we have watched Dariel grow into a respectful, kind young man who always displays strong leadership. In the fall, Dariel will matriculate at Trinity College. We are very excited for him, and also excited that he won’t be too far away!

Capitol Squash couldn’t be more proud of our very first class of college graduates!

These remarkable young women have grown up with Capitol Squash and are now taking the next step in their journeys.

She has accepted a position as a Rehabilitation Technician in the Rehabilitation and Neurology Department at Saint Francis Hospital.

This year, Capitol Squash launched a new tradition of awarding graduation cords to our high school and college graduates. Earlier this month, we extended that tradition to alumni who graduated before it began by hosting a special retroactive high school graduation cord ceremony.

Alumni returned to Trinity College to receive their cords, celebrate their achievements, connect with some current students, and reconnect with their friends on the squash court. It was so special to bring the Capitol Squash community together!

Capitol Squash celebrated an incredible year of student achievements at our awards ceremony last night!

From academic growth, to outstanding sportsmanship, to impressive rookie performances, we were proud to recognize the many accomplishments of our students both on and off the court.

We were also honored to celebrate both our high school graduates and our very first class of college graduates by launching a new tradition of awarding graduation cords! Our two high school seniors received gold and white cords, while our three college graduates received gold and blue cords.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients and graduates. We can't wait to see what comes next for each of you!

For the month of May, Capitol Squash put an emphasis on the word “perseverance”. This past month, Milan demonstrated incredible perseverance when she got injured. Even though she couldn’t play, she continued to come to practice to cheer on her teammates and learn from her coach off court. Since her recovery, she has worked hard to come back strong and it has paid off! In a few weeks, Milan will be attending the SEA Individuals Tournament as a first year student! Milan also always displays perseverance in the classroom, staying focused and productive throughout her academic sessions and serving as an awesome role model for her teammates. Great work, Milan!
