The Pioneer High School Class of 2024 were saluted for not only surviving challenging times but thriving into bright futures, during Commencement ceremonies held June 28.
Principal Joseph Cappadonia kicked off the proceedings, then the capacity gathering saw the graduates proceed to their spots on the stage. Superintendent Nicholas Silvaroli stressed to the seniors the need to build emotional and personal relationships as they grow, and to take time to enjoy moments away from the workspace.
Also speaking to the students were Class President Cole Rhodus, Salutatorian Theresa Kolasny, and Valedictorian Olivia Clouse.
Pioneer High School football coach and history teacher Jim Duprey (also the father of graduate Allyse Duprey) warned against falling into the trap of saying "I can't, I won't, I will", instead opting for "I can't be stopped! I won't give up! I will succeed!"
