Congratulations, St John The Baptist Diocesan High School Grad Noah Dedis

WEST ISLIP, NY — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Noah Dedis will graduate from St John the Baptist Diocesan High School.

Plans after graduation: Iona College, Honors program, Business Major

Accomplishments: Summa Cum Laude, National Honor Society, Tri- M music Honor Society, Pho Beta Kappa Honor Society and more. Oh, and he's a killer percussionist. That we understand the most. :)

Special message: When you walked in to your first day of Kindergarten, you told us " I've got this." Here we are many moons later and despite the world we're living in you still tell us "I've got this.". You're stronger than us and I bow to you. CARPE DIEM
