Celebrating the Class of 2021

Of all the milestones that mark the Senior experience, we know that Commencement ranks among the most important. 

This year’s Commencement ceremony took place in person at the Ellis Street campus on the afternoon of THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2021.

We will post photos from the event to our FLICKR account as they are made available.

Graduation 2021 in the News

Siyyum (lit. “completion”) celebrates the end of a significant learning accomplishment.  If Commencement is like a wedding, then Siyyum is like a rehearsal dinner. The JCHS Siyyum takes place on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2021 and is a longstanding, intimate tradition to celebrate the senior class in their own words and a student-created slideshow.

Senior families and their guests may RSVP via the link sent to you by email. If you have any questions about Siyyum, please email siyyum@jchsofthebay.org.
