Three Village 9th-Graders Move Up To High School

THREE VILLAGE, NY - From Three Village Central School District: Surrounded by proud parents, family, friends and district staff, the ninth-grade classes at R.C. Murphy and P.J. Gelinas junior high schools recently marked a significant milestone and celebrated at their respective moving up ceremonies.

Having amassed countless accolades during the past three years in junior high school, the students were celebrated not only for their academic achievements but for the successes they reached beyond the traditional classroom. At Murphy, members of each academic department presented honored students with plaques
and awards noting their exemplary achievements. Gelinas’ ceremony also highlighted individual awards — including celebrating two staff members for their more than 80 collective years of service to the school district and one student who has maintained a perfect attendance record since kindergarten.

Musical interludes were peppered throughout both ceremonies, highlighting the vocal talents of the soon to be 10th-graders before members of the administration called the “graduates” to the dais to receive their moving up certificates and, at Gelinas, a yellow rose in honor of a former member of the grade.
