East Meadow High School’s seniors enjoyed a balmy afternoon as they celebrated their graduation at the high school’s football field on June 20.
The Class of 2025 processed onto the field to roaring applause from their families and friends. They were joined by the Board of Education, central and district administration, and East Meadow High School administration, faculty and staff. After the processional, the graduates proudly took their seats to begin the commencement ceremony.
The event kicked off with a rendition of the national anthem by the senior chorale, and were joined by a group of students performing the song in American Sign Language. Superintendent of Schools Kenneth Rosner and Board of Education President Jessica Ricco-Simeone each addressed the graduates.
Valedictorian Ava Persico, salutatorian Alissa Mili and Class President Kyle Bir then spoke to their classmates with their respective addresses.
After 17 years as principal at East Meadow High School, Principal Richard Howard addressed the senior class for a final time before the awarding of diplomas.
After the last student was called to receive their diploma, the students celebrated with a cap toss and cheers. The crowd looked on proudly as the graduates processed off the field, ready to take on the next chapter of their lives.
The district wishes the East Meadow High School Class of 2025 luck, success and fulfillment in their futures.
