These achievements speak to the exceptional talent, determination, and ambition of our graduating class.

To the graduating Class of 2025, as you receive your diplomas and become the newest alumni of Marple Newtown, remember that although you may leave Marple Newtown physically, the spirit of this community will always remain with you. No matter where life takes you, you will carry the pride, values, and memories of Marple Newtown with you.
