Locust Valley High School seniors graduate in style

Despite forecasts, the weather held out for the Locust Valley High School Class of 2023 for graduation ceremony on the morning of June 24. One hundred seventy-nine seniors dressed in green and white gowns with colorful cords symbolizing all their accomplishments marched onto Fred Smith Field to the cheers of their friends and family and music provided by the school band.

“I think we can say that high school has taught us that to get to this success, you need to take risks in school, work, relationships or whatever,” graduate Aria Khwaja said during her speech. “That’s because the biggest risk is not taking any risks at all.”

As a testament to the togetherness of this class, the turf field remained packed with students embracing after the caps were tossed and the ceremony was finished.
