By Jackson Kim, class of 2024
The Greenwich High School 2024 Senior Awards Ceremony was held on Monday night in the Performing Arts Center.
The ceremony began with a welcome by Program Coordinator for School Counseling Michele Iannello, followed by a Pledge of Allegiance led by the senior class president, Ishi Hassett.
Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones and Board of Education Chair Karen Kowalski complimented seniors on their work ethic, character, and ability to overcome obstacles.
Ms. Kowalski also acknowledged the efforts parents put in to create the ‘wonderful’ support system seniors have at home.
She ended her introduction with a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “I am a great believer in luck, but I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”
