The Future is Bright for Bayport-Blue Point Class of 2019

Proudly dressed in blue and gold caps and gowns, Bayport-Blue Point High School’s Class of 2019 prepared for the next chapter of their lives during the school’s commencement ceremony on June 28. Family, friends, staff, members of the board of education and central and building administrators were present for the momentous occasion on the front lawn of Bayport-Blue Point High School. The 189 graduates entered the ceremony to Pomp and Circumstance, directed by Michael Sarling and performed by the high school band and orchestra. Before taking their seats, each graduate placed a white rose on an empty seat in the front row in memory of Carly LeStrange, a member of the Class of 2019. Principal Dr. Gaurav Passi opened the ceremony by introducing distinguished guests. This followed with the national anthem by the high school band and orchestra and a musical performance from senior chorus members who sang “In My Life” by the Beatles. Dr. Passi addressed the graduating class, his last at Bayport-Blue Point High School and spoke about how each individual has control of their attitude and growth in life. He reminded the graduates that “when we focus on the positive, the positive grows and when we focus on developing ourselves into the best version of us, that is what will grow.”
