Fifth-eight Class of 2019 graduates were presented with stoles that signify their completion of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. This feat entailed two higher-level and three standard-level International Baccalaureate courses, internal assessments, external exams, a Theory of Knowledge course, an extended essay and 150 hours of community service.
The eighth annual IB Diploma recognition ceremony featured the theme of inquiry; one of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile traits. Students Emma McGovern and Cristina Goeller led the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem, respectively, and Adriana Zieba Rosa presented a student montage. Board of Education President Dr. Dennis Ryan and Principal Jeffrey Myers welcomed attendees, and IB Essay Coordinator Toni Weiss was selected as the keynote speaker. Edward Vrona was chosen to represent the class and reflect on the program and experience. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jennifer Gallagher commended the students and joined Mr. Myers in presenting the stoles.
