Sullivan BOCES Career & Tech Center recognizes 213 graduates

Posted

LIBERTY, NY — On June 15, the Career & Technical Education Center at Sullivan BOCES held its recognition ceremony for 213 graduating Career & Tech students at the Tri-Valley Central School District. 

The auditorium was filled with smiling faces, cheers and applause as the graduates made their way across the stage to accept their awards and certificates.

Jeffrey Molusky, executive principal of the Career & Technical Education program at Sullivan BOCES, opened the ceremony by welcoming the graduates, parents, board members and school administrators to this joyous occasion. 

He spoke about the advantages of the hands-on learning the students received. Each graduate, regardless of their future path, will benefit from and be better prepared than most as they enter college or the workforce.

Felicity Bauernfeind, a graduate from Sullivan West Central School District, and Allison Weinstein, a graduate from Monticello Central School District, were the class speakers at the ceremony. Each talked about their experiences at the Career & Tech Center, and how attending BOCES has helped them determine their future career paths, and how beneficial and enriching their experience at BOCES has been.

After the students’ speeches, BOCES board members Carol Park, Jackie Rutledge, Keith Stryker and Simmie Williams III presented Felicity Bauernfeind, Matthew Chigbundu-Obiokoye, Samantha Medina Garzon and Allison Weinstein with the BOCES Board Outstanding Career & Technical Education Student Award.  

“Regardless of the path you choose, you will benefit from everything you were taught at the Sullivan BOCES Career and Tech Center,” Molusky said. “Your experience has helped ensure your pathway to further education, training, and sound employment opportunities. Your work may result in dirty hands, sweaty brows, and aching muscles, but take pride in that. These momentary discomforts signify an unsung hero who makes modern life possible. 

“The work you will do is incredibly honorable and necessary,” he continued. “But most of all, you will enjoy the satisfaction of looking at your completed work and saying to yourself, ‘I built that,’ ‘I got that working again,’ or ‘I helped that person.’”   

Dr. Robert Dufour, district superintendent at BOCES, closed the ceremony with a statement from his mother: “Nobody ever does anything on their own.” He explained how everyone has had someone in their lives that have helped them in one way or another. 

Dr. Dufour then asked the students to stand and applaud everyone who has helped them over the years. “We have never succeeded without others, and we must always be thankful to those around us who have helped us succeed.”
