Daniel (Danny) Irani was announced as valedictorian. Mr. Orlando described Irani's academic rigor, commitment to theater and debate, volunteer teaching at elementary schools with Science Rocks, and his plans to attend the University of Chicago.

Ending: The board acknowledged the students and families and invited them to remain for the meeting; the recognitions were part of the evening's routine presentations and were recorded in the meeting minutes.
