The ceremony was once again held at Matthiessen Park with a nice view of the Hudson River and the Tappan Zee Bridge in the backdrop.
Schools Superintendent Kristopher Harrison said," Each graduating class is distinctly different than the other, and in the class of 2015, the students have made amazing high achievements in competitive fields." Harrison was particularly proud of the students dedication to community service. "This graduating class has an impressive record of giving back to the Irvington community," said Harrison.
