Starpoint seniors share college plans, careers and advice at commencement remarks
Summary
At a Starpoint Central School District commencement event, graduating students offered brief remarks naming colleges and career plans, thanking teachers and giving advice to classmates.
Students from the Starpoint Central School District Class of 2025 delivered short remarks at a commencement event, naming future colleges and careers, thanking teachers and offering advice to classmates.
Many speakers listed intended colleges and programs and offered practical advice. Student speaker 3, Student, Class of 2025, STARPOINT CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, said students were heading to institutions including Syracuse University, the University at Buffalo (UB), the University of Central Florida (UCF) and Saint John Fisher College. Student speaker 3 also named career plans including pharmacy and sports analytics: “Pharmacist. Going to Syracuse for sports analytics,” the speaker said.
Why it matters: the remarks capture immediate post‑graduation plans and priorities for this graduating class, and highlight the teachers and programs students credited for their preparation.
Students also offered short, character‑focused advice. Student speaker 3 urged classmates to “Wear your seat belt. Drive safe. Always be kind, always be honest, and always try your best.” Student speaker 4, Student, Class of 2025, STARPOINT CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, told classmates to “be kind, give love,” and said they planned to study theater and pursue a master’s in arts administration. Another speaker recommended getting involved in school activities and balancing effort and fun: “Be involved and give yourself out there,” Student speaker 3 said.
Speakers named multiple teachers and school memories when thanking staff. Teachers mentioned by speakers included Miss Kimberly, Miss Farrell, Miss Figla Mette, Miss Kilmer, Miss Roloff, Miss Kropfuski, Miss Grady, Miss Crawford, Miss Hayes, Miss Billman and Miss Sullivan. Several students cited gym events, Unified Sports and a senior beach day as memorable moments.
Other post‑graduation plans noted by students included attending SUNY Niagara, pursuing nursing, engineering and accounting programs, and entering the workforce directly — one student said they planned to work at General Motors and pursue an electrician’s path.
The ceremony included a musical benediction. A speaker offering closing music said, “May God bless and keep you always. May your wishes all come true,” which was followed by group singing and additional short well‑wishes from classmates.
No formal votes, motions or policy decisions were made during the remarks period; statements were personal reflections and plans shared during the commencement program.
