Sunny skies were a welcome backdrop for the five well-orchestrated
commencement ceremonies on June 26 for the Rocky Point High School Class
of 2020.
The 46th commencement exercises began with a welcome from Principal
Jonathan Hart, who thanked the Board of Education, administrators, staff
and parents for making the event possible.
Speeches from valedictorian Hope Lantz-Gefroh, salutatorian Molly
Lambert and Exhortation Speaker Kiana Hammarth were peppered with
memories, grateful words to teachers and family members, thoughts on
overcoming obstacles and words of advice for their fellow graduates.
The ceremony included a number of special presentations and words of
inspiration, hope and faith from among others, Mr. Hart and
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Scott O’Brien, who spoke of the students’
demonstrations of perseverance, strength, flexibility and resilience and
most importantly how they responded to this unprecedented time in
history.
Congratulations to the Rocky Point High School Class of 2020!
