They weathered mold — which closed Coleytown Middle School, and sent those students into classrooms (and trailers and stairwells) at Bedford.
Then came COVID, which made their introduction to Staples a strange hybrid experience (with a shout-out to shortened Wednesdays).
But the Class of 2024 persevered through it all. Yesterday, at the high school’s 137th commencement ceremony, 426 of them celebrated the end of one phase of their lives.
And all they had to weather was a bit of a breeze.
“06880” photographer George Maddaloni captured the joyful faces of some of those graduates. For a previous gallery of photos, click here.

That’s some fine photography of a great event celebrating a great crop of graduates. Good work Staples teachers! Keep it up.
Beautiful ceremony, incredible class of achievers…but an AWFUL INEXCUSABLE decision by Staples to have this on a Monday night. Graduates robbed of celebrations, siblings suffer many who have finals today and working parents struggling. We can do better
