By Posted on

St. John’s Prep held commencement exercises at St. John’s University in Jamaica on Saturday, May 31. Principal William Higgins greeted those gathered and thanked them for their support of the graduates. Salutatorian Lauren Martinez advised her classmates to “measure our time by the blessings bestowed upon each of us,” and spoke of the friends she made, the teachers who “gave them the foundation to succeed” and the parents who sacrificed for them. Valedictorian Cara Lambrento spoke of the experiences the Class of 2014 had and how “all these experiences hellip; changed us. They have built a foundation for our character,” she said. She also addressed concerns about the challenges graduates face ahead, and how their time spent inside and outside the classroom prepared them for the future.
