Kate Logan, 18, said she was trying to express the spirituality of graduation when she disrobed in the middle of her speech at a private school.

Officials at the 110-student Long Trail School were not amused.

Logan, talking of her “journey on a road less traveled,” credited the family-style school for helping to challenge and inspire her individuality.

Then she tossed down her cap and slipped out of the white graduation robe to finish her speech naked before a stunned crowd of 200 faculty, friends, classmates and family members at Saturday’s ceremony.

“When I was up there it felt natural,” Logan said.

A school statement called her disrobing “overwhelmingly inappropriate and . . . not reflective of our student body.”
