🎓 New Providence High School Celebrates 67th Annual Commencement for Class of 2026
Wednesday evening belonged to 146 Pioneers.
Though the threat of rain moved the celebration indoors, nothing could dampen the energy inside a packed NPHS auditorium filled with proud families, cheering friends and the faculty who helped shape this class over the last four years.
From the opening notes of Pomp and Circumstance to the final toss of the cap — it was a night New Providence will not soon forget.
Valedictorian Troy Faucher reminded his classmates that success isn't measured by a GPA or a job title — "it's about the people who stand beside you."
Salutatorian Kaylin Han urged the class to "live in the moment and embrace the beauty of time's never-ending flow."
BOE President Amanda Marano — a New Providence graduate herself — told the class that the greatest gift this town gives isn't a trophy or a grade. "It's the people. That's what I carry with me — and it's what this town is giving you."
And class speaker Alex Zamora put it simply — "What you've built here, the friendships, the memories, the character — that's something ChatGPT simply cannot replicate."
Congratulations to the Class of 2026.
