The ceremony began with a welcome by Principal Lisa Michallis who invited the Manchester Township High School ROTC Cadets who performed the Presentation of Colors.
Students from Regional Day School's C-3 Pod then joined the MTHS NJROTC Cadets and MTHS Band in the flag salute before the presentation of our proud graduates:
There was not a dry eye in the house after Mrs. Diane Pedroza, Interim Superintendent of Schools addressed the graduates who truly live our school district motto "Excellence by Example" every day:
The Presentation of Awards was met by many cheers and appreciation for our students and the hard work they put into completing their program at the Regional Day School. Some students, now 21 years old, began their journey at Regional Day School when they were 5 years old. This has been a second home to them that Regional Day School parents commonly refer to as "their happiest place on earth!" Congratulations to:
The Kindness Counts Award: Jasmine Muldowney
The Outstanding Improvement Award - Andrew Dickinson
The Star Student Award - Shandrea Huth
The Enthusiastic Learner Award - Valentino Falzarano

Manchester Township Administrator's Unit Gifts/Scholarships and Manchester Township Education Association Gifts/Scholarships were presented to all of today's Regional Day School graduates.
Before receiving their diplomas, the graduates presented flowers to their families and those staff members with who they wanted to share a special appreciation during the ceremony:
Congratulations to the Regional Day School Class of 2024! As Principal Michallis shared, Regional Day School's students are what make RDS truly an exceptional place to learn and grow!
