Cloudy skies
didn’t dampen
PSA graduates'
mood
The cloudy skies and threat of rain may have changed the setting for Putnam Science Academy’s graduation ceremony, but it did not dampen the mood.
Surrounded by family and friends, 56 students representing 18 countries from around the world were presented their diplomas on May 18 with all the thrills and frills. Originally slated to be held outside at Rotary Park, the ceremony was instead moved inside to the on-campus gym because of the inclement weather.
Tyler Hansen, a native of Denmark and member of PSA’s Elite basketball team, was the class valedictorian. Christian Chu of China was the salutatorian. The ceremony also included a beautiful cello performance by senior Xinyi Jiao, the initial member of PSA’s budding music program.
The following awards were presented as well: Outstanding Artist (Skylar Steele); Outstanding Author (Lachie Quate); Most Improved Student-Athlete (Vlad Vetrov); Integrity Ward, given to the student who personifies high ethics, the good practices of friendship and responsibilities, and overall outstanding moral character (Vuki Jere); Ace Award, given to the student who has shown consistency in attitude towards athletics and school, a cooperative spirit and excellence in effort (Helin Yoztyurk); Young Leader Award, given to the student who has shown commitment toward helping foster a positive atmosphere at Putnam Science Academy by being a role model for peers (Jerry Da); Diversity Award, given to the student who sets the tone for an inclusive environment for all students. (Oswin Erhunmwunse); and the distinguished Head of School Award, given to the student who is recognized as a well-rounded individual in the areas of academic achievement, character traits, passion for learning, and the pursuit of excellence. (Leandro Romagnoli).
Jeff Jacobs, a former and well-decorated newspaper columnist whose son attended PSA in 2016-17, was the Keynote Speaker.
