It is always nice to go  home to take part in a great event at your alma mater.  I got invited to deliver the keynote address at Fitchburg High School’s 28th Annual Scholars Banquet tonight.

What a great evening that featured 41 graduating seniors that had earned a GPA of over 3.9.  For this effort each of the students earned the “Gold F” recognizing their academic excellence.  This is the highest number of students in one graduating class to earn this honor.

It was an honor to join Andre Ravanelle, Superintendent of Schools, Richard Masciarelli, Principal and Colleen Hirons for this event.  It was great to have the opportunity to speak to the scholars and share some of my life experiences.  Nearly two hundred people attended the banquet, including parents, family members and many members of the faculty.  Celebrating academic excellence has always been a tradition at FHS and it is nice to see this carried on.

This years FHS Scholars are:  Rachel Benoit, Marissa Binnall, Amy Boucher, Matthew Burke, Abigail Capone, Kevin Chavez, Caitlin Coleman, Christine Conroy, Kathleen Craigen, Meagan Dame, Hannah David, Haley Dean, Erica Dellogono, Michael Descoteaux, Ashley Forgues, Thomas Gammel, Marta Gianetti, Alexander Hanno, Adam Jacob, Daniel Kazanjian, Amanda Koch, Georgia Konas, Meghan Lanni, Sandy Lor, Nicholas Martinez, Molly Mioduszewski, Nhi Ngo, Nicole Nikander, Kaitlin Ouellette, Ellen Porell, Samantha Posco, Brianna Reyes, Sky Rosado, Matthew Schneider, Kimberly Seguin, Emily Shea, Janet Sierra, Marlena Sullivan, Lauren Sweeney, Catherine Van Amburgh and Samuel Welch.

Congrats to all of these Scholars.  For more information click through to see the nice coverage this event received in the Sentinel & Enterprise in this mornings edition.

Three Cheers for the Red and Gray!
