The National Anthem will be sung by students Nadira Batista Martinez and Jackeline Chavez followed by a greeting from RHS Principal Dr. John Perella.

Elizabeth Mirasolo will deliver this year’s Faculty Address.
“We are just incredibly honored to have worked with all of these young people,†said Superintendent Kelly. “This year, in addition to our two posse Scholars, we have two QuestBridge Scholars – a first for Revere. We have students moving on to colleges and universities across the commonwealth and the country including MIT, Syracuse, Bucknell, Mryn Mawr, and Dartmouth. They take with them over $420,000 in scholarships. In addition, several students have enrolled in trade programs and several others will defend our country in the Armed forces. We are so proud of all of them!â€
