Several graduates will receive scholarships during the awards program in recognition of their academic and athletic achievements.

Joseph Boncore, Town Council President Robert Driscoll Jr., School Committee Chair Dawn Sullivan and her colleagues on the School Committee, Town Manager James McKenna, Police Chief Terence Delehanty, and Fire Chief Paul Flanagan are among the invited dignitaries.
