The 90-minute ceremony included:

Prcessional by the Medfield High School Band and Orchestra

National Anthem by graduating senior Bethany Komine

Welcome address by Aaron Cohen who thanked the class parents

Open remarks by Superintendent of Schools Robert C. Maguire who will retire at the end of this month. He started his first full year as a principal in 2000 when these students were entering Kindergarten.

Honor Essayist Mimi Borkan (the first to lose her mortarboard to the strong winds that day) said that MHS is "bursting with opportunity" and "our potential is endless."

Honor Essayist Gregory Lyons said that the number '13' (as in the Class of 2013) is "truly a special number" and gave a humorous speech that included references to the students' experiences in school (noting the lack of a legitimate field trip in sixth grade) and rap music. He also thanked Superintendent Maguire for plenty of snow days as well as his personal Twitter followers.

Medfield School Committee Chairman Debra Noschese, whose daughter is part of the graduating class, told the students they had created a "beautiful memorial quilt" during their time in Medfield schools that will be held together by four corners: memories, challenges, friendships, and accomplishments.

Senior Speaker Blake Brown said he and his classmates, "We can be confident about the road ahead because of where we have come from." 

MHS Principal Robert Parga joined Medfield schools when the Class of 2013 was in seventh grade. At that time, teachers described the class as "caring, hardworking and talented." Parga said he would still describe them that way today.

Class Treasurer Katherine Letai presented the Class Gift which was a flagpole to stand outside the high school front office, and a marble bench in memory of teacher and basketball coach Ken Brackett who died unexpectedly during their sophomore year. The bench will dedicate the basketball courts to Brackett and will be inscribed with his favorite saying, "Games are optional, practice is mandatory." 

Diplomas were presented by School Committee Chairman Debra Noschese and students also shook the hands of Maguire and Parga as they crossed the stage. The class list was read by MHS teacher Ellen Toubman.

At 3:20 p.m., the 239 graduates of the Class of 2013 recessed for the last time to the sounds of the Medfield High School Band and Orchestra.
