MacArthur High School Class of 2015 Graduates
Check out the full list of graduates and congrats to all!
Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex was a sea of blue caps and gowns as 337 MacArthur High School graduating seniors from the Class of 2015 celebrated a long-awaited milestone during the school’s 54th annual commencement ceremony.
Led by high school principal Kathleen Valentino, members of the administration and staff and Board of Education trustees, the graduates proceeded to their seats to the symphonic band’s playing of “Pomp and Circumstance,” performed under the direction of Joseph Romano.

Class of 2015 President Audra Gale led the graduates and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance, after which the senior choir sang the national anthem. In her address to the graduates, Valentino then dispensed valuable advice she collected from teachers on how to live a fulfilling life, including not taking yourself too seriously and taking on jobs that don’t feel like work. “You have only one chance with your future,” she said.
In addition, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald reminded the graduates, “today marks the day that your parents will see you as an adult negotiating your own terms.” She also encouraged the graduates to have confidence in the path they take. Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Councilman Gary Hudes urged the students to continue helping others and to step up to the plate in order to be “somebody,” while the Honorable U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer encouraged the graduates to pursue their dreams.

Salutatorian Christopher Simonetti encouraged his peers to find a special talent and focus on it, while Valedictorian Brianna Abatelli urged fellow classmates to take the road less travelled and to follow their passions. “Don’t let anyone tell you what to do,” she stated. “Now you have the chance to start over.”
After the students and audience watched a commemorative video presentation, Board President Peggy Marenghi certified that the seniors had met the requirements for graduation. Each student then walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma to become an alumnus of the Levittown School District.
