Foran Graduates Look Back On Journey

Foran High School Class of 2013 Salutatorian Alexandra Corsi's first experience with Foran came in eighth grade.

She was at the high school for graduation practice.

"At the time, high school was this mysterious, giant building," she said in her commencement speech Friday.

Valedictorian Hamsa Ganapathi also commented on those tentative times, in her speech at graduation.

"The first day, when we walked into the halls of Foran High, we were scared freshmen struggling to find the way to our classes," she said.

"Today is a very special day," Ganapathi said. "This day was just a figment of our most distant thoughts four years ago, and today, it has materialized before our eyes."

"You have accomplished so much to be here," said Superintendent. Elizabeth Feser.

Feser told graduates to try and make the world more compassionate and kind in whatever journey follows Foran.
