Grady Lawrence says his DeMatha education formed him into ‘a gentleman and a scholar’
When Grady Lawrence graduates from DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland on June 6, he will be carrying on a family tradition that began in 1965 when his grandfather, Roy Kilby, graduated from the Trinitarian-sponsored all-boys school.
The graduating senior said his grandfather “was the main reason why I decided to attend because of the great things he said about it. Now that I have been at DeMatha for four years, I realize that he was right. DeMatha is a great place.”
The tradition will continue after Lawrence leaves – he has twin brothers who are sophomores at DeMatha.
The son of John and Erin Lawrence of Davidsonville, Maryland, Lawrence played varsity soccer for his school. As captain of the team, he helped lead DeMatha to the championship games last fall, but the Stags lost in the finals.
