HOBOKEN – Although the festivities had to be moved indoors from JFK Stadium to the school auditorium due to the weather, the Hoboken High School graduation ceremony still was quite a festive affair on Wednesday night, as the class of 2011 said goodbye to Hoboken High.
One hundred and thirty seven students and their families packed into the auditorium to celebrate the culmination of four years of hard work at Hoboken High School.
The salutatorian, James Perez Jr., is off to Rutgers University in the fall, where he will study to become a veterinarian after receiving a four year scholarship.
The valedictorian of the class, Giovanni Notaro, received a four-year scholarship to study at Stevens Institute of Technology.
The guest speaker was Joseph Scott, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Liberty Health/Jersey City Medical Center.
“Your required high school education might be over but your education never ends,” Scott said to the graduates. “Even after college, after graduate school, and after many years as a hospital administrator, I continue to learn new skills every day. Never, ever pass up the opportunity to learn something new.”
