Family, friends, district staff and administration recently filled the newly renovated Coach Walter F. Williams Football Field to celebrate Babylon Junior-Senior High School’s Class of 2017.
The students marched out onto the field as the sounds of the American Celtic Pipe Band and Babylon High School Band filled the air.
After opening remarks from assistant principal Jennifer Mangone, principal Al Cirone took the stage to address the graduates.
Cirone noted that these students were the first seventh grade he oversaw when he assumed the role of principal back in 2011, and encouraged all to focus on their energy and efforts toward creating positivity in the world.
Class of 2017 valedictorian Gabriella Albanese, along with salutatorian Ece Bapcum, delivered a pair of speeches expressing their gratitude toward their fellow peers, and their hopes for everyone’s continued successes in the future.
Superintendent Linda Rozzi reminded the students that their future is boundless and the opportunities that await them are plentiful, as she recited from Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!”
