In a jubilant celebration on June 22, the members of the Class of 2013 accepted their diplomas from board of education members accompanied by congratulatory cheers from parents, family, and friends at Garden City High School’s Commencement Ceremony. The beautiful summer day seemed as if in tribute to the senior class as they processed through American flag-lined aisles on Warren King Field to assemble, for the final time, as the high school’s 79th graduating class.
Sage words of advice were mixed with congratulations and encouragements to “make us proud” from Salutatorian Jacqueline Seskin, Julia Maloney Scholarship winner Brendan Quinn, Superintendent Dr. Robert Feirsen, surprise guest speaker Senator Charles Schumer, keynote speaker teacher Kevin O’Hagan, and Valedictorian Shannon Carman.
