Principal Donald Rebello gave a short speech addressing his delight in the dedication and sportsmanship shown by all the students.

“This is a great testimony to our kids and the culture of our community,” Rebello said.

After addressing the audience Rebello handed out the “3 sport” awards. The “3 sport” award is handed out to seniors who participate in a sport each season. This year, 18 seniors were presented with the award.
