Meet The Class of 2026

The Somersfield Academy Class of 2026 represents a dynamic and accomplished group of young people whose journeys have been shaped by curiosity, resilience, leadership, and community spirit. This class includes students who have spent nearly their entire educational lives at Somersfield alongside others who joined more recently and quickly became valued members of the community. Together, they have contributed to academics, athletics, the arts, service initiatives, and student life while supporting one another through every stage of their journey.
