“I am so gratified on behalf of the class of 2018 that so many colleges and universities around the country and the world saw what we have seen in them: This is a broadly talented group with so much to offer in so many areas,” said Eric Lombardi Fort Worth Country Day head of school. “They deserve to be celebrated and they deserve wonderful opportunities going forward. Whether I think of our four students going abroad or those taking advantage of great options right here in Texas or still others going to Ivy League colleges, our students are getting to pursue fabulous options. They will make differences in those colleges and beyond. We are immensely proud of the FWCD class of 2018.
In the fall, FWCD graduates will be attending colleges such as Harvard University, the United States Naval Academy, Brown University, Vanderbilt University, Cornell University, Texas Christian University, and The University of Texas at Austin, as well as international universities including Franklin University Switzerland, University of San Carlos in the Philippines, and University St Andrews in Scotland. Valedictorian Nikhil De will attend Princeton University, and Salutatorian Christina Kelly will continue her education at The University of Texas at Austin.
