Gallery: Stoughton High Class Night 2013

Less than 48 hours before Commencement, the annual Class Night exercises were held for the Stoughton High Class of 2013.

Seniors, their family members, and school faculty and administration gathered in the SHS auditorium Tuesday evening, June 4, for a celebration of this year's graduates.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Marguerite Rizzi, Senior Class officers Niamh Fennessy, Kiara Serret, Kelsie LaFerriere and Fiona Joyce, and Senior Class advisors Kathleen Bulger and Tim Norton addressed the senior class (Norton, a die-hard Philadelphia fan, said he would do anything for his seniors, and put on a personalized Bruins jersey as proof). 

SHS Principal Julie Miller served as the master of ceremonies. Dan Block performed the National Anthem and LaFerriere recited the Pledge of Allegiance. 

Yearbook editor Jordan Angelos presented the Class of 2013's yearbook.
