Post-High School Plans Take Hoboken High Grads Up and Down East Coast [Interactive Map]

Members of the Hoboken High School Class of 2013 will embark on a variety of career paths following their graduation Monday.

Eighty-six percent of the 127 graduating seniors have expressed some post-high school plans, which run the gamut from four-year universities to technical schools to service in the armed forces, Superintendent Mark Toback said. 

All of this year's graduates are set to remain on the East Coast, according to post-graduation plans provided by the district, but they'll be spread up and down the coast from Massachusetts to Florida, with the majority remaining in New Jersey.

The top three destinations for 2013 Hoboken High grads are Hudson County Community College — where more than 20 percent of graduates are heading — New Jersey City University and Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Five graduating seniors — Natalie Moronta (Emory University); Christian Rosa (Stevens Institute of Technology); Brandon Sodano (New Jersey Institute of Technology); and Jean Carlos Tapia and Bryan Vega (Seton Hall) — will attend four-year colleges ranked in this year's U.S. News and World Report Top 150 Schools list.

Six HHS graduates — Brandon Davenport and Peter Freese (Military); Melissa Arias, Diamond L. Gonzalez and Hector Melendez (National Guard); and Louis Moncion (Navy) — will enter the armed forces.

Note: The six graduates heading to the military, as well as Malcolm Lee (Paul Mitchell Beauty School) and Frankie Ramirez (Lincoln Technical Institute), are not listed on the map because their exact future destinations were not available.
