The RCS High School held its 68th Annual Commencement to celebrate the Class of 2024 on Thursday, June 27, at the Empire State Convention Center.
The commencement ceremony included the performances from the senior chorus members and graduation band, recognition of the Class of 2024 Top Ten, and the presentation of diplomas to this year’s graduates. The ceremony also included speeches from Superintendent Bailey and Principal Ryan Funck, and members of the Class of 2024 Valedictorian Maxwell Deyoe, Salutatorian Alivia Ortiz, and Class President Jillian Hallisey.
This year’s graduates left their mark on RCS in a big way. Whether on the athletic field, in the classroom, in community efforts, or in one of the many Career and Technical opportunities, they blazed a trail to success, fulfilling the district's values of inquiry, collaboration, risk-taking, participation, empathy, and community!
“Each of you has faced unique challenges, overcome obstacles, and has worked tirelessly to reach this point,” said High School Principal Ryan Funck. “Now you are here poised to take the world armed with knowledge and skills and a spirit of endless possibilities. I have no doubt that you will continue to make us proud as you embark on the next chapter of your journey.”
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
