The Herkimer Central School District Class of 2024 graduated in an outdoor ceremony on Friday, June 28, at the Herkimer Athletic Complex.

During the ceremony, Herkimer High School Principal Zachary Abbe, Superintendent Kathleen Carney and Board of Education President Brian Crandall spoke to the graduates. Class of 2024 valedictorian Victoria Stapf and salutatorian Kyle Carney gave speeches about the successes of their class, reflected on going through hybrid learning during COVID-19, looked to the future and thanked their families, the community and everyone at the school.

Stapf’s speech included talking about the class’s accomplishments and memories made together.

“From breaking school records, restarting athletic programs, and enacting public policy to pushing ourselves to get more involved, earn higher grades, and explore every opportunity before us, the Class of 2024 is truly an accomplished group of individuals who have all made their mark on this community,” Stapf said.

Ultimately, it’s the memories the students made together that will forever unite them, Stapf said.

“The friendships and connections we made here in these halls are what will allow us to always call Herkimer home no matter how far we go,” Stapf said.

Carney said in his speech that the Class of 2024 is one of those groups of students that teachers are going to miss.

“Not only are we social, dependable, trustworthy, kind, funny, and hardworking, we excel in everything we strive to do,” Carney said. “Whether it be in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, on the court, or in the trades, we put forth our best effort to achieve greatness.”

Carney also spoke about the special relationships among students in the class and about how important he believes it is to remember to laugh.

“As much as the resume of academic, musical, and athletic achievement speak for themselves with the class of 2024, that is not the thing I am going to miss the most,” Carney said. “The things I am going to miss most are the connectedness and humor.”
