Since the renovations and changes made to Fitch High School, it seemed as though there was plenty of room for an event such as graduation. Unfortunately, available parking spaces once again came up short and by 5:45 p.m., it was almost impossible to find one. Groton Long Point Road was congested with traffic as families, friends, and visitors made their way to Fitch High School’s 78th graduation on June 27.
Through the process of it all, there were still smiles, proud faces, and laughter surrounded by excitement and the feeling of achievement. After all, the Class of 2008 was about to graduate.
The Robert E. Fitch choral members sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Principal Robert Bacewicz welcomed all in attendance after a processional. Class President Anastasia Rege and Valedictorian Eileen Semancik shared their prepared speeches with the audience. Retiring Superintendent of Schools James Mitchell was the chosen commencement speaker.
The ceremony ended with the alma mater played by the high school band, honoring and sung by graduates and alumni of Fitch High School, followed by the much-anticipated recessional. The Class of 2008 Fitch High School seniors have graduated.
