Penncrest Seniors Say Goodbye to High School

Pomp and circumstance filled the gym at Villanova University during 54th Annual Commencement Ceremony on Thursday. The while thousands of family members and friends witnessed the landmark night.

It was a bittersweet goodbye for these young men and women who close one chapter to open another.

Valedictorian Anup Singh suggested to the students that they look ahead to their prosperous futures. 

"We have to try harder to do more and to reach our potential and doing what we are passionate about," said Singh. "We will lead. We will work. We will push. We will fail. We will fight. We will encourage. We will learn, but most of all, we will pursue our dreams and do what we love."

Principal Richard Gregg advised the students to be all they can be.

"Your best moments are still to come. You can do extraordinary things. Take those moments in your life and mold them into your own destiny," said Gregg.
