"Dear Class of 2022, you have done it. You have crested the last hill of your North Haven Public Schools experience," North Haven High School Principal Russell Dallai told the 262 graduates gathered at commencement Friday, June 17 on the NHHS campus. "Your 12-year journey for a high school diploma is complete."
Valedictorian Hannah Auddino told her fellow graduates she was honored to stand before them on this special day.
Auddino talked about how the pandemic changed their schooling and how they adapted to the challenges.
"It speaks to our versatility. And the skills we gained from our experience will prove useful as we progress to all of our future endeavors," said Auddino, who will attend Duke University in the fall.
The Class of 2022's top student said "[A]fter witnessing how my classmates handled what was thrown at them, I can surely attest to the popular statement of this class being above average."
Following Auddino's speech classmate Ana Marcano Diaz addressed the gathering, and Darren Jones followed with a graduation rap, which included the lines:
"Now we had to start to learn to manage our time
And then the virus hit, send us all for a ride
Upstream into chaos to the east coast tide
We were stuck in our rooms, taking classes online
But that’s the honest truth
And it gets a little better as each day is new
Even though it wasn’t all 'High School Musical'
I can depend on the crew, and that's you, Class of 2022."
It was a beautiful, sunny day, and although it was breezy, none of the students lost their graduation caps. Some nearly lost their sashes, but they were quickly recovered before the wind could sweep them away.
