Before a crowd of proud family members, friends, faculty, and staff, Henry Viscardi School Seniors were honored for their academic, social, and extracurricular accomplishments during the school year at Viscardi’s annual Senior Awards Assembly.

Head of School Angelo Zegarelli spoke about the many achievements made by the soon-to-be graduates, and explained that as this chapter of their lives comes to a close, new opportunities and experiences will become available. “This is only the beginning for you all,” he said.
