Rye Neck Graduation

Due to the record-breaking scorching heat on June 21, the Rye Neck High School graduation was moved indoors to the Performing Arts Center. Nevertheless, the Class of 2012 and their families sizzled with excitement, while additional guests were invited to view the ceremony on closed circuit television in the dining hall.

The seniors marched to the tune of the school band’s “Pomp and Circumstance,” as well as the melodious bagpipes of the Manhattan College Pipes and Drums Band. Salutatorian Charles Fraioli set the tone by inspiring his peers to set goals and never be afraid of failure. He was followed by valedictorian Kristin Tamucci and keynote speaker Robert Marrone, host of WVOX radio’s “Good Morning Westchester”.

The Rye Neck faculty encouraged the graduates to maintain their enthusiasm for learning, their sense of curiosity, and their belief in the human spirit.
