Our entire district would like to congratulate Mr. Harry Proulx on his retirement from his position as our Facilities Operations Manager. Harry's commitment to our district has been 2nd to none- we thank him for all of his years of service to our students, staff, & community.
Hello, Class of 2023!
We have decided to remain outdoors for graduation so that we do not have to limit guests for each graduate. The forecast as of now states that it should not be raining at the start of our ceremony at 6:30. Please be prepared for inclement weather. Gates will open at 5:00pm. Thank you for your flexibility. See you tonight when we will celebrate our awesome grads!
Tomorrow at graduation, we will be giving an honorary diploma to Norman Sanborn, Sr. He is from the Class of 1947 and left school at 17 to fight in WW2. He will finally get a diploma!
Christina Desjardins greeted her Kindergarten class with posters! These kids were so excited to see their pictures after 12 years in the Rochester schools! So awesome!!
The band is ready!
Graduation rehearsal underway!
Congratulations to our retirees! Thanks for your years of service to Rochester. Paul Lewis and Lee Sheedy are retiring this year. Ken Voss and Jen Strubinger are joining us for their send off as we didn't do one during Covid. Best of luck to you all!
Major Dan Heeter was just named Outstanding AFROTC teacher of the year! He was chosen out of a field of 900 units from across the country. This is a huge honor and we are so proud of him.
Hello Families and Graduates of 2023!
The day is fast approaching and the popular question is inside or outside? We will not make a decision until Friday morning, but unless we are expecting torrential downpours or lightning storms, we will be having our ceremony outside. You only need printed tickets if we move the ceremony inside. Each student has been given 7 tickets, and we will be giving an additional ticket to each graduate on Thursday. Again, you will only need these tickets if we are forced to move the ceremony indoors.
We have increased our handicapped parking and seating. Handicap parking will be located along the front of the James W Foley Community Center. We will provide golf cart service for guests in need of assistance. If your child did not pick up handicap tickets on Monday, please see Angela Green on Thursday's rehearsal.
Finally, do not forget graduates must arrive in cap and gown on Thursday by 7:45. The graduation practice and the school tours are mandatory in order to participate on Friday.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Mr. Roy
Our Top Ten Breakfast was a success. Each student invites a teacher that had a profound impact. They did speeches explaining why they chose them. It's a great tradition!
In keeping with tradition, our seniors play the Final Countdown in the halls on their last day! Congrats, Class of 2023!
