On Thursday, 181 seniors of the Ivanna Eudora Kean High School walked across the school’s gymnasium stage to receive their high school diplomas in an exuberant graduation celebration.
The IKEHS class of 2024 is one of the school’s highest achieving graduating classes in recent history, as school principal Sally Petty noted in her opening remarks. A quarter of the graduating students received high honors, and a further 29% of the graduating class received honors.
Most of the class – 87% is moving on to post-secondary education.
IKEHS seniors also hold the highest proficiency rate for English Language Arts, Math and Science across the territory, based on the results of the 2023 SmarterBalanced State Standardized Assessments. The cohort’s stellar academic performance is reflected in the whopping $2.1 million worth of scholarships accumulated by the students to date.
