Chester's Class of 2017
CHESTER — Ninety newly minted graduates emerged joyous from Chester Academy's commencement services last Friday, ready and eager to take on the next exciting chapter in their life's journey.
The audience of family, friends, and faculty listened to Salutatorian Sara Tomazzolli, Valedictorian Michael Moore, and Senior Class Co-Presidents Colin Marco and Jolena Podolsky as they gave their farewell addresses.
The Academy Band played Pomp and Circumstance as the class members marched to take their places. The school chorus sang "Unwritten" ("Today is where your book begins/The rest is still unwritten"), and the band played "Take On Me."
Principal Denis Petrilak presented the awards, and school board president Frank Sambets handed out the diplomas.
