Shoreham-Wading River High School valedictorian James Minetti was among the best and brightest high school students honored at the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association 30th annual Valedictorians Luncheon recently held at Villa Lombardi in Holbrook.

The SCSSA tradition honored the admirable accomplishments of Suffolk County’s highest-achieving graduates from the Class of 2024 and was attended by school district superintendents, high school principals, valedictorians and their parents.

Guest speaker Matthew Cohen, president and chief executive officer of the Long Island Association, defined the group of valedictorians as “people who are going to think out of the box to find solutions.” He advised the students to take advantage of all the opportunities offered to them.

The valedictorians were each called to the stage, accompanied by their school district superintendent and high school principal, to receive a certificate of recognition, the book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seus and a journal from SCOPE.
