*PHOTO GALLERY BELOW* While their time at Westmoreland may be over, their future is just beginning.
The 116th Annual High School Commencement took place on June 21 in the Jr./Sr. High School gymnasium.
The sixty-seven graduates making up the Class of 2019 entered the gym to “Pomp and Circumstance” performed by the Concert Band, with each graduate inserting a candle into a “2019” display. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Weissenberger, business teachers, jointly gave the commencement address. Angelo Carletta, class treasurer, Danielle Flack, graduate, Abigail Mizgala, graduate, Mr. Migliori, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Saxton, Jr./Sr. High School principal, also addressed those in attendance.
In addition to the processional and recessional, the Concert Band, directed by Mrs. Cutler, performed “Come Down Rain” by Jack Wilds. The Chorus, directed by Mrs. Davis, sang “Words and Music” by Marta Keen, “Arranged” by Jay Althouse and “Accompanied” by Tamara Huyck.
Just prior to the presentation of diplomas, there was a brief video tribute featuring photos of the Class of 2019 from over the years.
A special thank you to all who helped make the evening so memorable, including Mrs. Cittadino and Mrs. Martino, senior class advisors, along with the decoration and program committees, Music Department and Jr./Sr. High School Student Council, which donated the flowers.
