Class of 2018 spread their wings!

On Friday, June 1, 2018, St. Peter’s graduated 128 students. Commencement took place in the school gymnasium with a special graduation Mass taking place earlier in the day at St. Peter’s Church. Seniors Frank Pizzella and Thomas Conte were the Class of 2018’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.

Pizzella encouraged graduates to take what they had learned during their time at St. Peter’s and apply it to the real world, saying “there is little we cannot achieve.”

Conte reminded his fellow graduates that, “we are united” and that he was proud to call his fellow classmates, “brothers.”
