Class of 2019 Graduates from Northeast Metro Tech

WAKEFIELD — Students, faculty, staff, parents and community members came together this month to celebrate the 281 graduates of Northeast Metro Tech.

On Friday, June 7, seniors from 15 different vocations were celebrated and received their diplomas during a ceremony at Breakheart Stadium.

“Every year we recognize the success of our students, who come from different backgrounds, with different interests, but with a common goal of receiving a 21st century education that prepares them for work or college,” said Chairman of the School Committee Deborah Davis, of Woburn. “Congratulations to the Class of 2019, we wish you the best in all your future endeavors.”

Graduating students represented 12 communities:

  • Chelsea: 63
  • Malden: 33
  • Melrose: 10
  • North Reading: 10
  • Reading: 4
  • Revere: 50
  • Saugus: 61
  • Stoneham: 6
  • Wakefield: 13
  • Winchester: 2
  • Winthrop: 10
  • Woburn: 19

Class President Andrew DeCicco, of Melrose, reflected on what he and his classmates accomplished in their four years at Northeast, stating they wouldn’t be where they are today with out will, determination and support from loved ones, friends and teachers.

Moving forward, he added, graduates should strive for excellence and embrace the journey ahead of them, no matter where it leads.

“Our class has already shown that we all are capable of accomplishing our goals when we commit ourselves to them,” DeCicco said. “As we all continue on in our lives, let’s take on each new problem with confidence, knowing that we have achieved great heights and are equipped with the necessary tools to tackle our futures.”

This year, twin siblings Amrit Pal Kaur and Amrit Kaur, of Malden, were the salutatorian and valedictorian, respectively.

Amrit Pal recognized the parents, guardians and family members who were at the ceremony, and who helped their students reach this milestone in their lives.

“All of us are headed in different directions, but we will always stay connected to our roots,” she said. “As we continue on in our journey, it is our time to become role models for the future generations by having high standards and morals, by maintaining a strong worth ethic and doing so with confidence and compassion.”

Amrit touched on the past, present and future in her valedictorian speech — stating “we learn from our past, enjoy the present and work hard for our future.”

Although sad to close this chapter in her life, Amrit reflected on the family members who pushed everyone to work their hardest, the teachers who instilled knowledge and the friends who were there along all the ups and downs over the last four years.

“Some of us will go on to college, others will go into the workforce, but each one of us will travel our own path,” she concluded. “As Dr. Seuss said,’You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!'”

RAYMOND — Superintendent Tina McCoy and Principal Steve Woodward are pleased to announce the graduation of 89 students from Raymond High School.

On Friday, June 14, graduates were celebrated and received their diplomas during a ceremony at Raymond High School.

The ceremony included processional and recessional performances by the Raymond High School Concert Band, a rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Key and Smith and a performance of “Fair Raymond” by senior members of the Raymond Singers.

Valedictorian Carly Cole, Salutatorian Tovah Duffaut and Class of 2019 President Jeffrey Rivard delivered speeches to their classmates at the ceremony.

Superintendent McCoy encouraged the class of 2019 to use their fresh start after graduation as an opportunity to grow.

“Graduating from Raymond High School is a huge milestone, but only one of many important ‘fresh starts’ you will experience throughout your lifetime,” Superintendent McCoy said. “When you come to these important turning points, these times of transition, embrace them. Enjoy them. Most importantly, milk them for all they’re worth because times of change are also times of incredible opportunity to develop as a person.”

Principal Woodward encouraged the graduating class to remember Raymond High School’s core values, which include practicing perseverance when challenged, commitment to a rigorous learning environment, dedication to celebrating everyone’s diversity, becoming active and engaged citizens and assuming accountability for one’s actions.

“Success, however you choose to define it, is not found, it is earned,” Principal Woodward said. “It usually comes form hard work and you will find that the most satisfying achievements or moments in your life are the result of hard work. Those of you who worked hard or struggled to get to this moment tonight know this better than anyone.”

At the ceremony, 50 scholarships totaling approximately $38,000 were also awarded to seniors from local businesses and organizations, as well as several scholarships from regional and national groups.

Class of 2019 Graduates from Pentucket Regional High School

Local Groups Award $130,000 in Scholarships to Graduates

WEST NEWBURY — Superintendent Justin Bartholomew and Principal Jonathan Seymour are pleased to announce the graduation of 150 students from Pentucket Regional High School.

On Saturday, June 1, graduates from Groveland, Merrimac and West Newbury were celebrated and received their diplomas during a ceremony on the field in front of Pentucket Regional High School.

The ceremony was lead by students, and featured musical performances by the Pentucket High Concert Band and Chorus. Valedictorian Allison Brookhart encouraged her classmates to continue to learn and grow in the next phases of their lives.

“As you look ahead to the next stage of your life, whatever it may be, I hope that when you doubt yourself, you realize why you should be confident in the person that you are,” Brookhart said. “I hope you have new experiences, and are adventurous. And when you do fail, because we all have failed and will continue to do so, I hope you are not ashamed. Instead, I hope that you are proud because the fact that you have failed means that you are still learning, growing and improving.”

Matthew Hersey, the class salutatorian, encouraged his peers to reflect on their achievements over the past four years.

“We have all spent the past 12 years of our lives working hard to realize the goals and aspirations we set for ourselves, and today we can celebrate all that we have achieved,” Hersey said. “Although we may have each had different expectations for our high school years, we can all celebrate the way we have shaped each other’s high school experiences and the accomplishments of this bright and dedicated group of students.”

Scholarships totaling $130,000 were awarded to seniors at the senior awards night and graduation ceremony by local businesses, organizations and groups, including the Pentucket Regional Scholarship Foundation.

“Congratulations to this hardworking, creative, bright group of young adults,” Superintendent Bartholomew said. “And thank you so much to the Pentucket community for awarding scholarships to these students as they embark on their next endeavors.”

Superintendent Bartholomew also praised the work of the Pentucket Regional Scholarship Foundation, the maintenance crew for the 2019 graduation ceremony, district teachers who participated in the ceremony and the parents that organized this year’s Senior Celebration.
