Braintree High Class of 2013 Graduates Saturday Afternoon

Every year, the group of seniors graduating from Braintree High School has its own personality.

What stands out for Guidance Director Anthony Garofalo when he thinks of the Class of 2013 is how the students have bonded and participated together in activities all year long, whether pre-prom at the high school or planning the All Night Grad Party scheduled for Saturday night.

"They're close-knit group," Garofalo said. "They do everything together."

The Class of 2013 will graduate on Saturday afternoon under what is forecast to be a clear and beautiful but extremely hot sky at Alumni Stadium. The ceremony begins at 3 p.m.

Of the class's 378 graduates, 87.5 percent will go on to higher education, including four-year, two-year and trade schools. Another 7.9 percent will go right into the job force and 3.4 percent will begin military service.

Jeanine McKinnes and Rob McKinnies serve as the class advisors. The class officers are President Leo Curran, Vice President Daniel Morris, Secretary Jenna Henderson and Treasurer Thomas Morin.

The salutatorian is Timothy Manganello and the valedictorian is Aaron Yu. Superintendent Dr. Peter Kurzberg, retiring after this year, will present the graduates. Also speaking will be Headmaster James Lee, Mayor Joseph Sullivan, Student Council President Rachel Norton.
