The rain cleared out just in time to celebrate an important milestone in every student’s life: graduating from high school. On Tuesday, June 22, staff, students and families convened at the Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University to celebrate the years of hard work and dedication exhibited by our Dalers in the Farmingdale School District Class of 2021.
“From the time our students enter these halls at the beginning of kindergarten to the time they walk across the stage at high school graduation, the staff, teachers, and administration of the Farmingdale School District are confident that our students are prepared to step out into the world and accomplish incredible things,” Superintendent of Schools Paul Defendini said. “While it’s difficult to have our students leave us after being with them for so many years, we are comforted by the fact that they know they will always have a community to come back to, one that will continue to support them throughout their lives.”

It was a sea of green and white on the field of Shuart Stadium as families sat in the stands, cheering for their children as they crossed the stage in front of their peers and family. Students were greeted by Principal Dr. Samuel Thompson and members of the administration as they had their name called to receive their diplomas. To make the event all the more memorable, after a day filled with rain, a rainbow appeared at the end of the graduation ceremony, which added another layer of awe and joy to the festivities. No matter what next steps the Class of 2021 takes, they have made an irrevocable, positive impact on the Farmingdale School District and community.
