June 8, 2017 by HVS HVS

  • A A A

With cheers from classmates, parents, faculty, and staff, the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center’s annual Senior Awards Assembly individually honored students from the Class of 2017 for their academic, social, and extracurricular accomplishments made throughout the school year.

Head of School Angelo Zegarelli started this year’s ceremony by congratulating the soon-to-be graduates for their many accomplishments and thanking staff for their dedication.

“The Henry Viscardi School’s mission of educating and empowering children with disabilities—to be bold, to be leaders, to take chances, to give back, and most of all, to pursue dreams—is clearly evident in these students,” said Zegarelli. “Today’s award ceremony celebrates their success, hard work, and perseverance to overcome the challenges they face. It’s also a testament to the parents, family members, and Henry Viscardi School staff for their support and commitment to the success of our students.”

HVS faculty addressed attendees about each recipient’s successes over the last year before presenting an award. The ceremony recognized excellence in thirty-three categories, including six scholarships.
