On Wednesday, June 7, 628 graduates from the Class of 2023 at Abington Senior High School walked across the stage to receive their diplomas during the annual Commencement Ceremony held at Schwarzman Stadium.
This year's Valedictorian was Jeremy Slotter, and the Salutatorian was Darren Mo, both of whom gave speeches, in addition to the Class speakers who were selected by a vote of their peers, Emma Brown and Romina Farzaneh. Principal Mr. Angelo Berrios, Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Fecher, and Board President Mrs. Shameeka Browne also provided remarks to the graduates and their invited guests.
Of the 628 graduates, more than 77 percent will pursue higher education, 21 percent will seek employment–including those going into apprenticeships–and 2 percent will enter the U.S. Military.
The Class of 2023 collectively amassed an impressive $8.8 million in scholarships, including several students who are receiving Armed Forces ROTC scholarships.
