So, at this time, I would like us all to stand up and welcome the graduating class, the members of the

Who's brought stripes and bright stars through the [Music] per gallantly streaming and the rockets red. The bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled B or the of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you. That was beautiful. Uh before we we begin
003tonight, I just wanted to uh give out a few um thank yous um to folks who helped make this evening happen. Um first and foremost, I want to thank uh Laura Heert and Natalie Fitzpatrick from our counseling department, administrative assistants who really put this all together. [Applause] the members of our counseling department who are here tonight to help us out. Miss Leech, Miss Bowen, Mr. Moretti, Mr. York, Miss Ingerbertson, and Miss Nukem. Thank you all for that. Mr. Ser, one of our assistant principles here, will help me out uh with my technology deficiencies. So, thank you. And I'd like to thank obviously uh uh Dr. Professor Asbel, our superintendent of schools, our school school board for their support. And most importantly, I want to thank our presenters who are here tonight and all of the
004folks of the greater uh SA16 community who have been so so generous to give these awards to these um these uh students. We're going to be presenting approximately $273,000 in scholarship money tonight. So, thank you so much. Thank you to the whole exit community. So without further ado, we will begin um our evening's uh program. So first um I will ask Andrea Richards and Kathy McDougall to come up to the stage to present the uh Ant Terresa Labor Janolas Fund Scholarship. [Applause] Hi there. My name is Andrea Richards. Uh Kathy couldn't make it tonight. Uh however, um I'm here representing a scholarship named after my mother. Uh this is my 32nd year having the privilege to stand here and offer this up. Um first time I've ever been first though to hand them out. So
005it's a new one for me uh this time around. Uh at any rate, um this scholarship is named, as I said, on behalf of my mother who was a teacher within the exit school systems. uh many of her contemporaries uh will be actually presenting scholarships of their own this evening. Um but uh this scholarship is given to a person who's going to be studying uh business education. U my mother was a business education teacher um at the high school uh for a really long time. Um started off with bookkeeping and moved on from there uh when computers got introduced and and so on. So just every evolving um and I wanted to kind of make note of some similarities um between sort of my mother's path and uh the recipient of the award this evening
006uh in that uh this person will also be studying business education like my mother did. she had a masters in occupational education. Uh and she had a road uh similarly traveled um as to our recipient's mother and that I lost my father um when there were many of us who were very young in the family and a couple of us in college as well. Um so uh without further ado, I just wanted to um present this uh award to Jacqueline Curry in the amount of 280. [Applause] Uh, next up, uh, Christine Solder to give out the exit area exit exit area charitable foundation scholarship. All right. Hey guys. So, uh, my name is Chris Sudter and, um, I'm winging it because I left my paper somewhere. But what really matters is I have the check,
007so we're good. It'll be great. But I did I I really want was hoping to say a couple nice things. I have something here, but what I had written um is somewhere floating. Anyh who, so Exit Air Charitable Foundation, I will be quick. We raise money through all sorts of things, and we use that money to primarily give out uh clothing vouchers for kids in need that can't afford it, so they can go to some local stores and buy warm bedding and clothing. Um, and so we're very proud of that. I've been doing it for over 30 years. And if you're familiar with like the Festival of Trees, that's us. That's that's our that's our big thing. So that's us. We're giving out two scholarships tonight. And I just want to say as someone who
008volunteers um that I do hope that all of you guys think about doing that. Um families, parents, students, I know you're focused on school, but if you want something that's going to bring you joy, if you want something that's going to bring you peace and and never have a bad day, if you're out there doing something for other people, find something that you really believe in and and devote some of your time to it. it will bring you um a kind of joy and peace that you've never experienced before. All right, enough of that. So, our first um award recipient is a wonderful young woman with an incredible work ethic and I wish I had what was written down, but the one her teacher said how her kindness and how she thinks about other people
009and and does for them. It was just astounding. And she does this while keeping her grades up and working 35 hours a week. And I'm just so so impressed by that cuz that's that's incredibly tough and doing, you know, some things in the community as well um with her showing her artistic side. And um so this young lady will be going to the Great Bay Community College and the Charitable Foundation is really really honored to award $2,500 to Samantha Graner. [Applause] This is such a great night. I got to tell you too, because this is what happens when you have paperwork, you start talking. Just reading all the applications is so hard. And it's to to choose. And it's also so heartwarming to see how incredible you guys are, how much you're doing, how hard
010you work, how how you somehow managed to find those hours to do sports, to do school, to work, to be in the community, and um really makes me feel good about my future having you guys lead our country. Our second um awardee is another phenomenal student. um incredibly intelligent um a mind that knows science and math which I can't I can't I can't even remember how to get here. I drove like start driving to Lowe's. I don't know what the hell I was doing. I'm sorry. But anyways, so this incredibly intelligent student with super high grades and all kinds of things um also has this unbelievable artistic side and I did manage to bring his application which is good. But I I didn't drop that. And I just wanted to read this because this was
011so cool. Um so we had asked some questions and one of the questions was tell us about um a memory that you know really positive pleasant memory or something that brings you joy. And this is what this scienceminded student wrote. It was not too late into the afternoon. The burning sun piercing through the half-drawn shade like a knife through water, scattering pale light throughout the room. The pages in my hand hands were worn with time, and the ink flowed a river of emotion through every fiber of my being. The final words faded away, but the feeling that gripped my heart in some unrelenting embrace refused to follow. Finishing an impactful and touching novel, possessing the understanding and passion down to my very bones, grants me a level of serenity and joy that is beyond description.
012Yeah, I know. I know. And so, Cedric St. Armand be happy to present you $2,500 to take with you to Worester Polytech Institute. [Applause] Uh, next I'll invite Heather Akel, Curtis Grace, Josh Turner, and Joanie Dickinson to present The officer Steven Arkel Memorial Scholarship [Applause] Award. Congratulations class of 2025. Um Steve was a dedicated, passionate, and always willing to help others, family, friends, and community at any time. These are characteristics among others we look for in the recipients of this scholarship. Um despite those challenges, these individuals have always made time to help others in their community. We wish them continual success in their college careers. We have happy to present Jacqueline Corey and Cole Capillary each with $3,000 scholarship. Unfortunately, Cole couldn't be here tonight. Thank you so much. Uh, next I'd invite Jennifer Young
013uh to present the EISA Steven Arkel Memorial Scholarship Award. Good evening. My name is not Jennifer Young. Uh, my name is Luke Martell. Um, EYSA, otherwise known as uh FC Exitter, is a uh volunteer-run town travel soccer club where you can start playing. I think it's in second grade up till 8th grade in the fall and the spring. And in high school, uh, we do have a spring season. Um, I was a coach for many years in the club. I was a board member for many years in the club. I stepped off um, a few months ago. Um, but I'm thankful they asked me to come back and present this again because they know I love to do it. Um, the largest deciding uh reason why we give the scholarship um to the recipient is
014they have to write a um essay about what does EYSA mean to me? And um thankfully I didn't have to vote on anybody this year. Um, but I got to read all the essays and it reminds me of all the years I was uh active in the club with my children and reading what it means to them reminds me every single year when I get to do this is why we do what we do, why we volunteer. Um, because the essays were just beautiful. They were magnificent. And you know, unfortunately we have to pick one. um one person to win it. And uh this year, I think it's the first year I have to present this where I didn't coach this child um in a in a game somewhere. So, uh but I do know
015her dad and I know that he coached in the club uh or I'm not sure if he still does, but um Luchia Bonafiti [Applause] Uh, next, um, I'd invite, uh, Dr. Chris Andriski up to the stage to hand out the Michael Robert Andriski Memorial Scholarship. [Applause] Thank you, Principal Monahan. Good evening, class of 2025. It is my pleasure to be here with you tonight on this special occasion. Tonight, I get to recognize three exit high school seniors who will honor my brother who passed away suddenly at the age of 38 over 9 years ago through the MRA scholarship. My family and I have been fortunate to be surrounded by so many community members during our difficult time. and we're glad to repay our gratitude by honoring graduating seniors to carry on his name at their
016next level. Although each applicant would have made an excellent selection, these three students stood out to myself and to our family. Please help me congratulate Avery Allard, Jacqueline Corey, and Nick Greco for the 2025 MRA scholarship. [Applause] Sorry. Thank you. Uh, next I'd invite Beth and Brian Caputo to present the Brandon W. Smith Scholarship in memory of Robert [Applause] Caputo. The Brandon W. Smith Foundation presents the scholarship in memory of Robert Caputo, Exit High School, class of 2020. This scholarship spot spotlights the often overlooked yet essential role that a caring and considerate student plays in shaping the overall atmosphere of the classroom. It celebrates those who understand that learning extends beyond textbooks and that fostering a sense of community is crucial for academic and personal growth. Because often these students don't recognize that they are
017the kind of student that we're looking for. Um, we ask teachers to nominate students for this award. They don't apply themselves. So, the recipients of the Robert Caputo Memorial Scholarship are not only acknowledged for their positive influence on their peers, but they're also presented with a financial scholarship towards continuing their education in a two or four-year college or trade school. This award serves as a testament to the belief that kindness and caring are essential components of a successful educational journey, leaving a lasting impact on the both the recipient and those fortunate enough to share a classroom with them. The 2025 recipients of the Robert Caputo Memorial Scholarship are Logan Ducharm, Robert Fury, and Kaylee Toppener. [Applause] Uh, Next, I'd invite up Jen Lampier Roberts to the stage to present the the Lampier [Applause] scholarship. Good
018evening. I'm Jennifer Lampir Roberts, an Exit High School graduate myself. This is my mother Judy Lampir and my sister Amy Lampier Farnum and we are pleased to be presenting the Dr. Gary Lampir scholarship on behalf of the Shamaster Charitable Foundation. My father was Dr. Gary Lampere who passed away in 2021. His college roommate and longtime close friend, John Shamaster, created this four-year scholarship to carry on his legacy by helping an Exit High School graduate pursue a career in medicine. My dad spent most of his career in the emergency department of Exiter Hospital and later Manchester VA Medical Center. While there's no expectation that the recipient of this scholarship becomes an ER doc, there are three qualities that help my dad excel as a doctor and that this year's recipient also possesses and will serve her
019well as she enters the medical field. My dad was intellectually curious and not just about medicine. He read widely, thought about and discussed ideas continuously, and was always in pursuit of the best way to perform any task. Whether that was assessing a patient, participating in the community of exit, or loading the dishwasher, John Shamaster remarked to me recently that my dad was understated. He bought used cars, inexpensive clothing, and he knew that he didn't know everything. What that meant as a physician was that he trusted the judgment of the paramedics and the nurses who he worked alongside. He understood he was not going to cure any patient on his own, that he was part of a community of care. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, my dad figured out how to balance the difficulty of the
020life and death situations that he worked with every day in the ER by participating in activities outside of work that brought him joy and allowed him to continue being a caring, effective physician. In his case, it was gardening, bike riding, volunteering for St. Vincent to Paul, and enjoying the company of his family, friends, and especially his dogs. The 2025 recipient of the Dr. Gary Lampir scholarship has demonstrated these three critical qualities already. She excelled in her science classes, showing the intellectual curiosity to become a great doctor. She understands the complexity involved in illness and healing, founding the hope squad for suicide prevention and mental health awareness. She has shown a dedication to serving her community and she has shown that she has the grit to get through tough situations while continuing to offer her service
021to others. I am so pleased to award this scholarship to Ava Seagull. You have it in. Yes. [Applause] Uh, next I'd invite uh Joanne Pereé up to the stage to present the Exit Education Association scholarship. [Applause] The Exit Education Association scholarships are sponsored by the members who teach at the Exit Elementary Schools, the Cooperative Middle School, Secost School of Technology, and Exit High School. The Exiter Education Association is honored to recognize the following five recipients for this scholarship award. Eliza Bishop, Elsa Bishop, I'm sorry, I apologize. Nicholas Darby, Amelia Hanlin, Jack Harrington, and Laura Lauren Reer. Raider Raider. [Applause] Uh, next I'd invite up to the stage Stephanie Roderick, Alex, and Justin Carboni to present the Marie Carboni Literacy Scholarship. [Applause] Um well, good evening everybody. Congratulations class of 2025. Um only a few short
022years ago, my brother and I were sitting in the exact same seats as you. Um and tonight we're honored to uh present the Marie Carboni Literacy Scholarship. Um honor of my late mother, Marie. Um Marie Carboni worked in the school districts of uh Exit, specifically at Main Street School in a first grade classroom. Um and spent over 15 years uh teaching kids how to read in the exit community. So um the scholarship has been around for three years and uh we want to say a huge thank you to everybody in the community who has donated. We've raised over $20,000 in the last three years. Um so thank you for your continued support. Um tonight we have one primary uh scholarship recipient and six secondary winners um for a total of $5,500 in um scholarship funds.
023Um students were asked to or applicants were asked to write a short essay about how um learning how to read has impacted their education and their future endeavors. And so thank you to all the applicants. It is very cool reading um your stories, especially those who had Marie Carboni in class over a decade ago. So, I'm going to throw it over to my brother Alex to present the winners. All right. So, congratulations to Avery Allard, Ava Seagull, Mia Albertelli, Shannon Gered, Hannah Cass, Molly Rickio, and Lola Mlesio. You're the seven winners. [Applause] Thank you so much. [Applause] Uh, next I'd invite uh, John McDougall up to the stage for a special presentation from the US Military Academy. Good evening. My name is Jay McDougall. I'm an admissions representative for the United States Military Academy at
024West Point. I'm also a fellow Blue Hawk, so it's a pleasure to be back here tonight. Uh each year approximately 12,000 young men and women apply for admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point with an admission with an acceptance rate of less than 10%. West Point is one of the most competitive colleges in the country to gain admission. Applying to West Point is different compared to other colleges and universities. Along with submitting academic transcripts, standardized test scores, and teacher evaluations, West Point applicants must also pass a medical exam, physical fitness test, and obtain a congressional nomination. During their four years at West Point, cadets undergo rigorous physical training, leadership development, and moral ethical training to prepare them to be an officer in the United States Army. Tonight, we want to recognize a
025member of the class of 2025 who will attend West Point. He's a great example of the young leaders that West Point actively seeks to lead our soldiers and the army. He's a well-rounded student, athlete, and leader, and upon graduation will become an officer in the United States Army on active duty. In my hand is a certificate of appointment that equates to a fully funded federal scholarship to West Point. The scholarship covers all expenses to include tuition, room and board, books, uniforms, medical and dental expenses, and all military training requirements. Cadets also receive a monthly financial stipend. In total, this scholarship is worth more than $400,000. I know that his family, friends, and the entire community are very proud of him, and it's an achievement we should all celebrate. But we need to celebrate quickly because
026his summer v vacation will be short. He reports to West Point on June 30th. On behalf of the President of the United States, the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy, and the director of admissions, it gives me great pleasure to present a certificate of appointment to the West Point class of 2029 to William Aaroy. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Uh, next I'd invite uh Kevin Grady up to the stage for a special presentation from the US Air Force [Applause] Academy. Thanks. Hard to follow that. Um, good afternoon. My name is Kevin Grady and I'm a member of the Air Force Academy class of 1975. and I'm honored to be presenting an Air Force Academy appointment today. It's especially gratifying as tomorrow will represent 50 years since I went across the stage at Falcon Stadium and graduated
027and became an officer in our Air Force. Uh every year we we take in about 1,200 folks out of more than 10,000 that apply to the Air Force Academy. And this prestigious appointment has a lot of the same things that our previous speaker told you about. It's a four-year full ride scholarship with intensive military and leadership training. But the important part is a guaranteed job when you graduate. That's part of a good thing, moms and dads. Um, and you have to earn an appointment from a senator or congressman or a service related uh nomination. And grads of the academy earn a a bachelor of science degree, even if it's in English. Uh, it's a bachelor of science and they commissioned as an officer in either our air force or our space force. So, on behalf
028of the academy, I am honored to present an appointment to the academy class of 2029 to Marshall Lazerowitz. [Applause] Thank you so much and thank you guys for your future service. Uh next up, um I'd invite Chris St. Gene to present the St. Gene family field hockey and St. Gene family football scholarships. [Applause] First, congratulations to the class of 2025 and also to family members, teachers, coaches, and staff. It's through your collective efforts that these fine students have achieved success. My name is Chris St. Gene and I am delighted to be here on behalf of my family to present awards to three outstanding scholar athletes. Our family ties to Bluehawk Country run deep. I taught in the EH EHS social studies department for 30 years and was department chair for 10. My husband taught at
029both the junior and the senior high schools, coached football, and was a member of both the Kensington and cooperative school boards. Most importantly, we raised our two children in the community. Each was an excellent student in no small part because of the discipline and focus that athletics brought to their lives. Our daughter's preferred sport was field hockey, which she continued to play in college. Our son's passion was football. He had the good fortune to play under coach Ball during two state championships. He also played in college. Tonight, I'd like to recognize three among you who shared that same zeal for excellence in the classroom and on the field. Congratulations to Elsa Bishop, Alexa Zaynes, and Mike Karen. On behalf of my family, Elsa, congratulations. And Alexa, congratulations. And Mike, nice to meet you. Thank you.
030Best wishes to all of you. Uh, next I'd invite Rory Moriceet to the stage to give out the class of 1988 wrestling [Applause] award. Congratulations to the class of 2025.

I've seen firsthand
031this student athletes growth and development on the lacrosse field. He's a senior captain and his competitive drive on the field does not deter him from showing excellent sportsmanship throughout and he has grown and developed more and more for his team each year. Academically, he is headed to the University of New Hampshire Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics to study finance. and I hear he's already been in touch with the men's lacrosse club team to continue his lacrosse journey as well.

Um, it's given to a graduating senior to recognize their achievement in athletics and academics. It's my pleasure to make this presentation to Grace Weed.

It's my honor to make this presentation tonight to Mave Lin. [Applause] Jim Houston was a businessman here in town, very active in the community.

034hockey team. And Bert MacArthur went across the um Jim Houston went across the street and said to Bert, "You're going to be getting checks from the community and we're going to have a hockey team next year." And Bert MacArthur said, "That's a great idea." And he volunteered to coach that team as a club team for two years until it became a varsity team. in 1968. Uh this scholarship is given in recognition of those two men who got that program started here at Exit High School. It is my honor to make two uh presentations to Parker Tuttle and Callum Howorth.

William Robinson was born in Exit in 1793, and he paved the way for secondary education for girls at a time when public high school here was only available for boys. In 1853, Robinson left money to the town of Exit and start stated in his will that his gift is a trust that exit will use for the education of young women so they may compete in the world of their brothers. In 1869, the Robinson Female Seminary opened its doors to girls in the exit area. And then after an addition was built to
059the allmale Tuck School, the first co-ed class graduated from Exit High School in 1956. Now generations later, we're able to share William Robinson's legacy with young women and young men pursuing higher education. Robinson's extraordinary vision for his hometown has made a difference in the lives of many. And from your applications, it's evident that many of you are inspired to make the same positive difference in the lives of others as well. Robinson scholarships are unique because if the recipients remain in good academic standing each semester, this scholarship will follow you for all four years of your college experience. We ask the recipients to read and save all the details included in the letter I'll award today. Additionally, we present you with a pin with the initials of the Robinson Fund Scholarship to wear proudly and represent
060your commitment to education. So again, congratulations. So please join me in honoring Ava Seagull, Jacob Valentine, and Delaney Roach. Congratulations. Jacob, come on down. There you go.
