At this time, I would ask you to please stand if you are able and remove your caps for the singing of our national anthem by our talented Kamswag High School tapestry. So proud we held bright. We were soents [Music] bursting in air through the night spangle [Music] of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you. Please be seated. Welcome members of

002the board of education, administration, faculty, parents, and most of all students. Before we get started this evening, I'd like to acknowledge some members of the Kamswag School District who work tirelessly to make nights like these possible. From our board of education, our president, Mr. Richard Renard, Vice President, Mr. James Sanchez, Trustee, Miss Francisco Alabau, Trustee Mr. Robert Dphano, trustee Mrs. Marge Mitchell, and trustee Mr. Corey Prince. Our central administrative team, of course, our leader, our superintendent of schools, Dr. Jennifer Quinn, Associate Superintendent, Miss Susan Cassali, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, Dr. Jennifer Polyronis, and our assistant superintendent for staff and student services, Mr. Joseph Kigglleion. like to thank and welcome our high school administrative team starting with our director of health physical education and athletics Mr. Matteo Dvenenzo our director of guidance Dr. Kitty Klene and

003the two best assistant principles anyone could ask for let's give a nice round of applause for Mr. Christopher Sheruis and Mr. John Ro. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the incredible effort put forth by Mr. Glattison and our custodial team and our incredible grounds crew, Mr. Gllan and our security team. Thank you to Mr. Raori and all of uh for all of the behindthe-scenes magic you pull off to make this live stream possible. And a special thank you goes to Jen Charnetski and Christine Marches for making sure every intricate detail of this ceremony is covered. I would also like to send a tremendous thank you to the administrators and the faculty of our elementary and middle schools, district office, and of course the terrific faculty and staff right here at Kamswag High School

004for their constant dedication to our students. And another very special thank you goes to two members of our faculty who have guided you since nth grade, Mrs. Nicole Monty and Miss Joanna Bryant. Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty and guests, proud parents, it is now time to return our attention to our exceptional class of 2025. Welcome to this momentous occasion where we celebrate the achievements and promise of the class of 2025. Today we gather not only to reflect on the incredible journey that these graduates have undertaken, but also to look forward with anticipation to the bright futures that await them. Throughout their time here, our graduates have exemplified remarkable leadership and determination. They have demonstrated these qualities in various ways. From the outstanding performance of our VE firm Pickletech, who achieved a prestigious sixth place finish

005in the nation to the impressive journey of our journalism and videography students who took home three awards at the broadcasting for senior high school awards at Hopster University. And who can forget the gutsy performance of our boys soccer team who defied all the odds in their Suffach County Championship. or another county champion, Ethan Placencia Nazarino, who took first place in the 100 meter freestyle swimming championship. How about a new KSwag boys wrestling record for most all-time wins, a staggering 184 wins by Mason Mangelino. And speaking of wrestling, this year Comwag senior Bridget Meyers not only competed in the first ever section 11 girls wrestling championship, but took home third place in the 145 pound weight class. Our comwag students have demonstrated that they can compete with anyone. Here's a perfect example. Newsuesday selects five seniors

006each year. That's it. Just five across the island. This year, one of KMSOG High School's own earned incredibly rare accomplishments. Let's give a nice round of applause for Mr. Billy McClennon. Moreover, 39 graduates earned seals of biiteracy and two additional earned seals of civic readiness, showcasing their commitment to global citizenship and cultural understanding, skills that are so important to our modern society. Others have pursued certifications and endorsements across indust industrial fields. And of course, we're proud to honor those among us who have chosen to serve our country in the military, embodying values of sacrifice and service. Today, as we stand on the threshold of a new chapter of your lives, I challenge our graduates to carry forward the spirit of leadership, innovation, and community that you have cultivated here at Kamsawag High School. Kamswag High

007School has equipped you not only with knowledge but with resilience, adaptability, and a drive for excellence. As you embark on your college and career pursuits, remember the lessons you learned in these halls and the bonds you forged with your peers and mentors. Seize every opportunity, overcome every challenge, and continue to lead with integrity and compassion. Your future is bright and we cannot wait to witness the extraordinary contributions each of you will make. Comog class of 2025, it has truly been an honor and a privilege to be part of your journey. I'm sure all of these people here tonight will agree we're excited to spend one more evening together as we celebrate this incredible milestone. 2025, this night is for you. Let's hear for these amazing seniors, everyone. Peter Ducker once said, "Leadership is lifting a

008person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of personality beyond its normal limitations." And here in Kamuag, we are blessed to have a leader whose unwavering support brings out the best in all of us. And we serve as we serve our remarkable students. It is my great pleasure to welcome Dr. Jennifer Quinn to the podium to address our graduates. Good evening, Mr. Renard, Mr. Sanchez, Mr. Prince, Mr. Dphano, administrators, faculty, staff, proud families, distinguished guests, and most importantly, graduates. Congratulations to the class of 2025. Today marks not an ending but a magnificent beginning. As I look out over the sea of caps and gowns, I see more than just students who have completed their high school requirements. I see dreamers, innovators, leaders, and change makers ready

009to write the next chapter of their own stories. As you leave these halls, remember that your education has not ended. It's just changing form. The world needs your fresh perspectives, your energy, your willingness to make things better than you found them. Whether you're heading to college, entering the workforce, joining the military, or pursuing other paths, you carry with you the values and knowledge that will serve as your compass. I want you to remember three things as you embark on this journey. First, stay curious. The moment you stop asking questions is the moment you stop growing. Second, be kind. Success isn't about what you achieve. It's about how you lift others along the way. The connections you build and the lives you touch will ultimately define your legacy. Third, take risks. Don't let fear of failure

010keep you from pursuing your dreams. Some of the most successful people in history failed multiple times before they succeeded. Paul McCartney didn't make choir. Walt Disney claimed bankruptcy. Thomas Edison once said that he found 10,000 ways that wouldn't work before he created the electric light. Your setbacks will become your comebacks if you refuse to give up. Class of 2025, as you walk across this stage tonight, you're not just receiving a diploma. You're an acce you are accepting an invitation to make your mark on the world. Dream boldly, work tirelessly, and never forget where you came from or the people who believed in you. The future isn't something that happens to you. It's something that you create. Now go and create something extraordinary. And don't ever forget, once a warrior, always a warrior. Congratulations. Thank you,

011Dr. Quinn. Our next speaker this evening has spent many years advocating for our students as a member of our board of education. He can usually be found on the sidelines of our sporting events, volunteering for one of our business competitions, or even marching with our band in a parade. Please put your hands together for Board of Education Trustee Mr. Corey Prince. Good afternoon everyone. On behalf of the board of education, I'd like to begin by congratulating our seniors and all the people who supported them along the way. Graduating from high school is a significant achievement. It's a milestone that marks yes an end, but also a major beginning. The first of many successes you'll experience as you move forward in life. As I reflected on what I wanted to share with you tonight, one idea

012kept coming to mind. The seasons of life. It's a phrase that we often hear about as something in the past or imagine maybe a future. Maybe it's your grandmother reminiscing about her youth or you picturing what life might be like a few years from now. What type of career do you have? Maybe a family place of your own. But rarely do we think about that season as the present. And yet here you are in the season of your own right now. A season full of questions. What choices will you make? What plans should you follow? What path will you take? For many of you heading to college, you'll hear questions this summer. What school are you attending? What will you major in? And what do you want to do with your life? Now, the question

013that you get here is going to come a lot. And some people might want to just make a sign to get through the answers. But in the interim, understand that people are asking from genuine curiosity. Others are looking to share their story and tell you a little bit about their experiences. But either way, remember this. The season you're in right now does not define who you are. And it certainly does not determine who you will be. At some point in your life, maybe years from now, you'll pause and look back, and you'll begin to see yourself clearly, not through the lens of expectation, comparison, or doubt, but with honesty and compassion. I'm reminded of a quote. At a certain point in your life, probably when much too much of it has gone by, you will

014open your eyes and see yourself for who you are, especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, but I am this person. And in that statement, in that correction, there will be a kind of love. That moment of clarity, that moment of love for who you are isn't reserved for some distant future. It begins now in this season with each question you ask, each path you consider, and each truth you learn about yourself. Life is full of seasons, each with its own beauty, its own lessons, and its own timing. Embrace this one. Let it shape you, but don't let it limit you. Congratulations again, and thank you. Thank you, Mr. Prince. Kamuag is rich in tradition, and honoring the brave men and women in

015our armed forces is one of our favorite traditions. Each year, our graduates who have made the commitment to serve our country are presented with special graduation sashes courtesy of the Moran family. At this time, I would like to welcome board trustee, Mr. Rob Dphano. And could the following students please join us on stage? Gina Matthews, David Turner, Skyler Gunnar, Gunnar, Brendan Whitley. While they make their way to the stage, I would also like to acknowledge the incredible efforts of our local Marine recruiter, Staff Sergeant Sigura. Staff Sergeant Sigora was a true partner to Kamswag High School and went above and beyond to be a positive role model to all of our students, not just those making the commitment to serve. I would like to thank you for all that you've done for the com for

016KSOG and we wish you well in your new role with the Marine Corps. Thank you for your service. Please join us on stage. We're certainly proud of every single one of you out here tonight, but it is important that we take that moment to acknowledge and say thank you for the select few who will continue into the armed forces. You are indeed immutably warriors in the very primal definition of the term. We're thankful. We're proud. And we pray for your safety. David Turner, United States Navy. Skyler Gunnar, United States Marine Corps. Brendan Whitley, United States Marine Corps. Gina Matthews, US Army. And we have a certificate of appreciation for Staff Sergeant Brian Sigura. Thank you so much for your years with us. Let's give them one more very big round of applause. Great job. At

017this time, it is my great pleasure to introduce our high school tapestry under the direction of the wonderful Miss Alyssa Stevens as they perform Seasons of Love. that song was chosen and it was also a part of Mr. Prince's speech and I I think that's that was not planned that but incredible. So that is a really important coincidence to point out at this time class of I I'd like to introduce another very special speaker. The class of 25 was a really special class. A distinction such as this is not possible without terrific leadership. This year's class president was a jack of all trades. She was also task president winter track all selectional team. She also earned all academic an all academic award for ranking in the top 10% of the senior class competing at the

018state level in the high jump earned a bronze medal in the sales pitch competition at the youth business summit. Next year in the fall she will be at Bingmpington University where she will be majoring in biology in the premed path as well as competing on their women's track and field team. The sky's is the limit for this kid. Let's hear it for your class president, Sophia Deja. Good evening to the parents who stood by us, the friends who lifted us, the teachers who guided us, and the staff who supported us. Thank you. But most of all, good evening to the class of 2025. Officially, the last ever com warriors to walk this stage. My name is Sophia Deja and I have the great privilege of standing here tonight as your class president. Before I begin,

019I just want to take a second not to speak, just to look. Look at the people around you. Those faces you are looking at are some of the ones who watched you grow up into the beautiful people you are today. Some of them knew you back when you couldn't tie your shoes. My friends from kindergarten taught me the bunny ear method. And some of them you met later on in middle school, even though you were convinced that Terryville kids were overrated or boil kids were our sworn enemies. It was basically turf war but with backpacks and Gatorade water bottles. But then came middle school and those kids became our best friends. And those memories we made became everlasting stories you will think about when you're older. Of course, we made friends who joined in along

020the way. And from my spot up here, looking at all of you, I couldn't be prouder of the class that I get to graduate with. How does someone sum up four years and a legacy in a way that really honors what this class and this school has meant? I don't think I've ever met a more talented, competitive, diverse, and inclusive grade such as this one. We are a class where pageant queens and upcoming rappers walk the same halls. Every week, our sports teams come home with a new victory. Whether it's the boys soccer team winning the championships, our inclusive sports teams and athletes helping athletes club. Our cheer team representing us at Disney. Our boys and girls lacrosse members going D1. Our orchestra groups taking home huge trophies after music in the parks. And our

021ors performance clubs have gone above and beyond to put together the best shows comog has ever seen. Our class has gone through so much together. We were tested not just by exams but by the world and we passed with flying colors. We went through co together where a three-week break turned into a year-long virtual class journey. Who knew that the one thing that would give you detention being on our phones in class was the one thing that got us through the entire seventh and eighth grade year. We were incredible. Nothing could stop us except for bad Wi-Fi. And now, even in our most stressed out moments, during finals, college apps, or navigating the maze of senior year emotions, we have each other. We lifted each other up when things felt heavy. We celebrated every win

022like it was our own. The Comwalk School District offered us a platform to set us up for the rest of our lives. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the people who made this day and this journey possible. To our teachers, you taught us more than lessons. You taught us how to think, how to ask questions, how to try again. You also taught us how to act like we understood Hamlet, which we absolutely did not. Through these years, you guided us through an incredibly hard transition in our lives, and we are so thankful for that. Comog by far has some of the best teachers in the world, and I am so glad that the class of 2025 has had the offer honor of being taught by them. To our staff who kept the school

023running from custodians to to our incredible nurse, to the guidance office, to the very patient Chromebook office who I know a lot of us visited every week. Thank you for everything you've done behind the scenes and everything we would have been lost without. To our admin, especially Dr. Quinn, Dr. Mosca, Mr. Shuis, Mr. Roach, and the members of board of education, thank you for your leadership, your integrity, and your real presence in our lives. You were always there for us. You care, and it shows. To the families of these wonderful graduates, thank you for being with us through the late night studying, the victories, the heartbreaks, and for holding our hand from preschool until now. You are the backbone of our success, the people behind the scenes, the reason why each and every one of

024us will be leaving today with a diploma in hands. You are our first teachers, our biggest supporters, and in a few minutes, our biggest cheering section. To the class of 2025, we have walked these halls every day for four years. And now we walk across the stage once. Just once. As we leave this chapter behind, I want to remind you, you don't need to know exactly where you're going. You don't need to know exactly where you will end up. All you need is to go with intention, with confidence, and with that attitude that you will never give up. As Denzel Washington said, "Fall forward. Don't have a plan to fall back on because you shouldn't set yourself up to fall backwards. Fall forwards further into your lives, opening up new chapters and opportunities for yourself

025instead of leaning back into old habits and comfort zones. Turn the page. Don't close the book. Before I close, I want to say something that I hope stays with you long after we've taken off our gowns and pose for the pictures. Tonight is the last time we'll ever stand together on this field as Compwalk students. This is the last time we'll be warriors. Not in memory, but in motion. That's something sacred. So take a breath, look around, and truly take it all in. This moment will never happen again, but we'll carry it with us. When the road gets bumpy and life seems like it's getting hard, remember, you don't have to do it alone. We're still us, this diverse and deeply connected class. And we still have each other. If you ever need a reminder

026of how amazing you are, or someone to believe in you when you forget how, I'll be here. All of us will be here because we will always have each other's backs. Because more than anything we built, we built each other. Thank you, Comp and the class of 2025. Congratulations. You did it. You are officially the last ever com warriors. And remember, once a warrior, always a warrior. Let's give one more nice big round of applause to Social Via Deasia. Our next speaker this evening is a special senior and the saludiatoran of the class of 2025, Natalyia Pashkin. Natalyia has been a true leader in our building since the moment she arrived. She was a News Day top 100 softball player, vice president of the class of 2025. We're excited to see what the future holds

027and where she will be going. uh when she'll be going to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she'll be studying biology. Please give a round of applause to your saludiatoran, Miss Natalyia Pashkin. Good evening, family, friends, faculty, staff, administration, and fellow graduates. I'm excited to welcome you all to the event that my classmates and I have been anxiously awaiting for months. The event we thought couldn't come quick enough and the event we will probably remember for the rest of our lives. I would like to thank everyone in attendance for the immense network of support that you have created for the class of 2025. I am confident that my classmates would agree that without you all, we would not have been able to reach the significant milestone in our lives. To the faculty,

028staff and administration, thank you for dedicating your time to each and every one of us, for sharing your knowledge and for preparing us for our future endeavors. To my own parents, my sister, and my extended family, and to the friends and family who have supported each graduate along their journey, thank you for being our encouragement, our foundation. Thank you all for motivating us to push ourselves past our own expectations and for being there to build us up after every failure and to celebrate every success. And for the graduates who have loved ones that cannot be with us today, I can assure you that they are proud of you beyond belief and their love has been with you every step of the way. This class of 2025 has persevered through some tough moments. Some may reflect

029on the COVID pandemic as the most difficult part of their school career, while others would say the AirPod ban was much worse. While I'm sure we all had very different high school experiences, each and every graduate sitting before me showed determination throughout their four years here. Every student fought struggles, whether large or small, and came out stronger. These past few months have rushed by, so I'd like to invite my fellow graduates to reflect on the amazing memories we have created while I share some of my favorites. I feel so blessed to have such a great school community that makes choosing only a few of these memories so difficult. When I look back on my four years at Comwalk High School, my fondest memories aren't the big events, but the small moments that I shared with

030the people around me. I will always remember my tiny 10th grade lunch table with two of my closest friends. Time spent in Sullie's room during my off periods, often laughing, occasionally crying, drives to football games on warm Friday evenings, working through the toughest classes with some of the brightest people I've ever met, and of course, walking through the hallway with Abby, flat tireing our friends at any given chance. While we may never be able to walk those blue and gold halls as students again, we are all warriors at our roots. And I am so grateful for each and every memory. In one of the first assignments we completed for Miss O'Hara's AP Lit class this year, each student had to create a saying that they felt a connection to or that defined them. I wrote,

031"A life without balance is a life I don't want to live." I had always lived by this idea, but once I finally put it into words, I realized how truly important balance is. Many of us have spent countless hours locked in our rooms typing away at a keyboard or in the library studying for upcoming tests. Some nights we went to sleep hours after the rest of our families, the only ones left awake in a silent house, finishing homework after a long day. There have been plenty of tears of frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion. That being said, we also have unending memories of time spent with our closest friends, laughing until our stomachs hurt. There have been many late night drives with music blasting out the windows as we wish those moments could last forever. As the

032Goooo Dolls said in their song Iris, "When everything feels like the movies, yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive. Graduates, as you go off into the next steps of your journey, whatever they may be, don't forget to keep a little balance. There will be moments of pain, but those simply make the delightful moments so much better. It is the balance between everything in life that makes each experience so worthwhile and so sweet. We've heard that Comwag will be taking on a new mascot next year, leaving the class of 2025 as the last Warriors. Warriors are known for having courage, being outstandingly brave, and being proud of what they stand for. To my fellow graduates, I challenge you all to live up to this name we have been given and carry on the legacy of

033being a warrior. It may mean different things to different people, but embodying the warrior spirit will always lead you in the right direction. Class of 2025, thank you for being warriors with me and congratulations. It has been said that music is to the soul what words are to the mind. Music is an essential element in our ceremony each year because it is our soul here in Kamswag. In fact, Kamswag community has been honored as a NAM community for music education for 13 consecutive years. It is my great pleasure to introduce Mr. Fred Wilbur and our Kamsuag High School Symphonic Band as they perform selections from Moana. Melissa exemplifies leadership through her actions. Some accomplishments include being a finalist in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program, which places her among the top 1% of US high

034school seniors. also earning the seal of civic readiness. I am confident we will continue to witness remarkable achievements from this exceptional young lady. She will be attending Cornell University in the fall to study computer science and psychology. Please give a round of applause to your validictorian, Melissa Romano. Good evening families, friends, faculty, and administration. And of course, an extra special welcome to tonight's stars, the KMSA class of 2025. While tonight marks a pivotal milestone in each of our own lives, we cannot move forward without looking back and acknowledging the many people who have supported us along the way. So on behalf of the graduating class, I want to begin by extending my utmost gratitude to all of the family, friends, and staff members who have stayed by our sides over the years and who took

035the and who took the time to be here with us today. Personally, I probably wouldn't be within a 50 mile radius of this stage right now without the incredible people I have in my life. So stay with me for just a moment. Dad, thank you for guiding me through life and for all of your lame jokes that make me laugh even when I don't want to admit it. Mom, thank you for always supporting me and for always putting up with my antics. To my grandparents, thank you for never failing to put a smile on my face. And to my brother, thank you for truly being both a sibling and a best friend, whether through the serious conversations or a many late night Mario party sessions. I'd also like to give my ward warmest gratitude to

036the second family I found within my closest friends at Consul who have the incredible talent of turning any place into a home away from home. And to all of our teachers, thank you for all of your guidance these past four years. I'd like to extend especially warm thank yous to Tahini for being the most incredible coach and teacher I could have asked to have for six years. And finally to Mrs. McInness for in just one year becoming one of my greatest inspirations and motivating me to find my own path. With that being said, class of 2025. To be honest, when writing this speech, I struggled to find the words to say to you all in just around 5 minutes. It's hard. Find that one message that applies to everyone. Some of us are heading off

037to college, some straight into the workforce, some taking a year off. Sitting next to you might be a future doctor or teacher, mechanic or athlete. Even if I had all the time in the world, there's no one way to truly capture our class. But if there's one thing that unequivocally applies to us all, it's that time moves fast. Right now, some of you might just looking forward to when I'll wrap this up so we can get to the sweet diplomas and the celebrations, which honestly I don't blame you. But when that one moment comes and goes, you might find yourself thinking back to the time you cross the stage like this as an eighth grader or that first time you step through the high school doors and how far you've come since. In a world

038that constantly push us to look ahead and do as much as possible as fast as possible, it's easy to lose your way. It's easy to get discouraged thinking you haven't done enough yet or that you're somehow falling behind. But amidst that, I implore you all to take the time to slow down and enjoy the moment right in front of you. Reflecting on my own past four years, I came to realize that I spent a lot of time in my own head. I spent a lot of time regretting things from the past or worrying about what lies ahead. And just like that, one year flew by and then another and then another. And before I knew it, graduation was on the horizon. But looking back, I wished I had worried less about things out of my

039reach and noticed more. Noticed more of the small joys of life. noticed more of the moments with friends that soon became memories, noticed more of the world right in front of me. Recognizing that, my hope is that you can all take the time to be fully present and avoid trapping yourself in thoughts of what could have been or what could be. Cherish every last moment, starting with this one. Look at everyone and everything around you. Feel the cap you've earned rest on your head. Really take in this milestone. At the end of the day, we only get one life to live. And if you try to rush through it too fast, you might just get whiplash at the end. One idea that has really stuck with me recently is this. We're all experiencing life for

040the first time. And because of that, we're bound to make mistakes, to get lost, to have regrets. But what we aren't is alone. No one has that magical key or answer to life. So allow yourself to move forward at your own pace. Even when you might feel like you're going the wrong way, you're still moving. And even hundreds of the slowest, smallest steps eventually form their own path, too. And when that path ahead feels daunting and unfamiliar, don't navigate it alone. Reach out to each other. Because although it's a little cliche, and you have probably heard it thousands of times by now, this is the last time in commod history we get to say, once a warrior, always a warrior. Congratulations, graduating class of 2025. Let's get another round of applause for three incredible students.

041And now the moment we've all been waiting for. At this time, our students will receive their diplomas. I'd like to invite our superintendent, Dr. Quinn, to the stage to present the diplomas to the class of 2025. As we dep as we prepare to announce the graduates names, I would also like to remind our seniors of another special tradition here at KMSOG. After you receive your diploma jacket, you will also receive a flower. There have been many special people who have helped you on your journey. Please give that flower to someone special as a thank you for their support. Without further ado, I would like to welcome our senior class adviserss, Miss Nicole Monte and Ms. Joanna Bryan, to the podium for the moment we've all been waiting for.

Whitley, Ryan Warl, Nicholas John Zamillo, Michael Christopher Zervacos, [Music] Let's hear it one more time for the class of 2025. Everyone make some noise. At this time, I'd like to invite our class president and vice president, Sophia Deja and Natalyia Pashkin, to the podium for their final duty for the class of 2025. Traditionally, the moving of the tassel at graduation is called the turning of the tassel. It symbolizes one's transition from candidate to graduate. At this time, we invite our fellow graduates to stand for the final tradition of this ceremony. Now, please take your tassel from the right side of your cap and move it to the left side. [Music] Ready to congratulations class of 2025. I want you all
