The top graduates of the Class of 2008 from 38 Boston public high schools were honored yesterday at the 10th Annual Valedictorians Luncheon at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Community leaders, educators and families gathered to pay tribute to the young men and women graduating at the top of their class. Pictured here, left to right, are School Committee Chair Elizabeth Reilinger; John Denzel Nwabugwu, Valedictorian of McKinley Preparatory High School; Mayor Thomas M. Menino; and Superintendent Carol R. Johnson. In a first for the Boston Public Schools, siblings were named Valedictorians of two different high schools in the same year. See press coverage of sisters Faith Nwaoha (Burke High School) and Chioma Nwaoha (English High School), originally from Nigeria, in the Boston Herald and on New England Cable News and Fox-25 News.

Mr. Horan,
I am a faithful reader of your articles. As a matter of fact, I tried on one occasion to see you to just say hello to you. But, on second thought, I decided not to bother you with my praise. Keep up your excellent work!
Sincerely,
Wally Monestime (Boston Latin Academy)
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy the blog! Chris
