Harry S. Truman High School Hosts 43rd Annual Honors Night
The Harry S. Truman High School community gathered together on the evening of Monday, June 10 to celebrate and honor the outstanding students and many achievements of the Class of 2024.
In the revitalized Lou Volpe Auditorium, various community figures, benefactors and representatives of community groups and organizations took the stage to grant scholarships to graduating seniors. The evening also featured departmental and course awards being presented to seniors by Truman faculty members.
“This is truly an impressive class of Truman seniors, and I would like to thank the families and civic and community organizations that step forward and provide scholarships and awards for our exceptional students,” Bristol Township School District Superintendent Michael Nitti stated. “Their belief in our mission and support of our schools will help these outstanding young people continue their fine academic work after they move on from Truman.”
Truman faculty members Philip Gravuer and Thomas Veit served as Masters of Ceremony for the event. After each student was honored or presented an award, a video screen detailed their post graduate plans.
"As you prepare to step into the world beyond our walls, remember that success is not solely measured by the number of accolades you received but by the positive impact you make on the lives of others," Truman Principal Jon Craig stated in his closing address.
The commencement ceremony for Truman’s Class of 2024 is scheduled for Wednesday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the school’s athletic complex.
