CHATHAM, NJ - With in-person graduations back on in New Jersey, there is a good chance the Chatham High School class of 2020 will get a chance to hear the valedictorian and salutatorian speeches from Katherine Wang and Veronica Quidore in person.

“I feel very honored and humbled to accept the title as valedictorian. These times of quarantine have helped me truly appreciate all of the resources CHS has had to offer - from teachers who are passionate about their subjects and supportive of new ideas, to classmates who foster a sense of collaboration and community, to faculty and staff who make the operation run smoothly," Wang said. "I'm grateful for all of their advice and support and hope that my efforts over the past four years serve as a testament to their excellence.”

Quidore said she was thrilled and honored to be the CHS Class of 2020 salutatorian.

"Each day, I respect the opportunities granted to me and find joy and take pride in my studies. Fortunately, my teachers and peers encourage creativity, curiosity, and persistence which continue to prepare me for the journey ahead,” she said.

Principal Darren Groh expressed admiration for these students and their commitment to their studies.

“Congratulations to both Katherine and Veronica for earning valedictorian and salutatorian status, respectively," he said. "It is a tremendous accomplishment to have such consistency in their academic achievement over four years."
