2022 Super Seniors

2022 Super SeniorsEach year, Cambridge Rindge & Latin School graduates more than 500 ambitious, beautiful, interesting, funny, dedicated, special, and spirited young people into the real world.

On average, 92 percent of each graduating class heads off to a two- or four-year college, university, or technical school.

Every new graduate has a story to share. Here are a few, some of which were chosen on the merits of their academic standing and some of which were chosen by the school for the way in which they embody the school motto of Opportunity, Diversity, and Respect.
