A School Graduates 28

Warm weather and cheerful spirits made Scarsdale High School’s Alternative School graduation an even more special event for the graduating class of 2018. On Friday, June 15, friends and family of the 28 graduates attended the outdoor ceremony held at the A-School. A-School advisor Jennifer Maxwell welcomed all who attended, and recognized Superintendent Thomas Hagerman, School Board President William Natbony, and SHS Principal Kenneth Bonamo, who showed their support at the event. Bonamo then spoke, addressing the graduating seniors and commenting on the unique nature of the A-School.

Due to the small graduating class size and the sense of community the school embodies, each student was individually recognized with a speech from their advisor highlighting the special qualities the student brought to the school and how they've grown throughout their years as a high school student. Each senior was presented with a personalized gift from two underclassmen whom they've formed relationships with in the past years. The ceremony closed with a speech from Senior Zachary Friedman, who spoke about the significance school and its impact. The emotional ceremony brought smiles and tears to the students as their three-year experience came to an end.
