Despite the East Leyden High School Class of 2024 having started freshman year with remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, hope kept students going for four years, school officials said.Student speaker Reeve Del Pilar addresses fellow members of his East Leyden High School Class of 2024 during the May 21, 2024 graduation ceremony at Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont.
“It is remarkable to think about our accomplishments – fueled by hope – especially when we started so hopelessly. But we found hope. We found it here, in each other. Hope drives us to be better,” student speaker Reeve Del Pilar said in his commencement address. “The Class of 2024 has accomplished so much in their time at East Leyden, and we’ve been rewarded by earning a total of nearly $2 million in grants and scholarships to colleges and universities across the country – and this number continues to rise,” Manola said, speaking at the graduation ceremony.
Manola also recognized social studies teacher Rob Fowler, literacy department Chair Jane Hyink, science department Chair John Kmet, music department head Bryan Miller, counselor and senior class sponsor Chris Schulz and English teacher Linda Smith, all of whom are retiring at the end of this 2023-2024 school year.
