On June 22, Rye Neck High School held its 122^nd Commencement. After the 127 members of the Class of 2017 proceeded to the tune of Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance, Dr. Scott Mosenthal, welcomed a big and enthusiastic crowd of family and friends.

The Valedictorian was Fraser Shaw, class president. Emily Crook was the Salutatorian. Both students were recipients of several departmental awards as well.

After keynote speaker Isabel Richardson, a 2007 Rye Neck grad, shared her experiences over the last decade, Patty Nashelsky, president of the Board of Education, had the pleasure of presenting the diplomas.
