On June 21, the Elwood-John H. Glenn High School Class of 2013 took their final steps on school grounds as students for the school’s 51st commencement ceremony. Musical highlights throughout the celebration included special performances by the high school band as well as members of the concert and mixed choruses, who sang “The Road Home.”

Prior to the conferring of the diplomas, the soon-to-be graduates listened to a variety of inspirational and encouraging messages imparted by High School Principal Dr. Vincent Mulieri, Board of Education President Joseph Fusaro, Board of Education Vice President Dan Ciccone, Superintendent of Schools Peter Scordo and select members of the Class of 2013.

After awards, honors and gifts were bestowed upon students and select members of staff, Mr. Scordo presented eager graduates with their diplomas. At the close of the ceremony, the graduates celebrated by tossing their caps into the air. Following the recessional march, they reunited with their loved ones as official alumni of the Elwood Union Free School District.
