Hannibal Central School District student Alexis Hartle offers a surprised expression upon receiving flowers as she exits the Exceptional Education graduation at the Center for Instruction, Technology and Innovation.
MEXICO – Center for Instruction, Technology and Innovation students celebrated their academic growth and personal gains as they accepted diplomas during the Exceptional Education graduation ceremony.
Classmates, friends, family, CiTi staff members and representatives from the students’ home school districts filled CiTi’s gymnasium and cheered on the 12 graduates as they processed in the venue.
The culmination of their public school education was met with a final assignment from CiTi District Superintendent Christopher Todd: to go home and make a list of all of the people who helped them achieve their goals.
A special student video presentation featured photographs of yesteryear and the students’ final stretch of high school.
Exceptional Education administrators reflected on the successes and positive experiences each student had.
STRIVE Principal Amy Fiedler-Horack provided a brief, personalized message to all graduates in which she referenced their shining personalities, resiliency, perseverance and determination.
The graduates then offered their reflections of the Exceptional Education program.
“The time has come for new beginnings,” said graduate Alexis Hartle (Hannibal Central School District). “I’ll always carry the memories made here in my heart.”
Some students shared their future endeavors, including Cassandra Remington (Oswego City School District) who has planned to continue work in the bakery at the Price Chopper in Oswego.
Representatives from each school district then presented diplomas to the 2017 graduates before everyone gathered for refreshments, photographs and continued celebration.
Congratulations to the following 2017 Exceptional Education graduates:
Rosario Sgroi (Canastota Central School District), Steel Bingley, William Gregory, Tyler Kendrick (all Central Square School District), Ashley Turner, Austin White-Tyrell (both Fulton City School District), Alexis Hartle and Justin Jackowski (both Hannibal Central School District), John Bertges, Jonathan Humphrey) both Mexico Academy & Central School District) and Seardan Darrow and Cassandra Remington (Oswego City School District).
