Class of ’25 steps into the future Graduation season was in full swing as seniors from Sanford H. Calhoun, and John F. Kennedy high schools donned their caps and gowns and took their final walks across the stage. From heartfelt speeches and musical performances to messages of perseverance, pride and unity, each school celebrated in its own spirited way — marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Above, Jake Yandolino, from left, Aaron Zacharia, Emma Zalayet, Jolie Yablon and Jacob Wexler were ready for Kennedy’s graduation ceremony. Right, a Calhoun graduate made her way across the stage. Stories, photos from all the ceremonies, Pages 3 & 15.
