The Saucon Valley High School seniors who graduated as members of the Class of 2022 Friday evening had anything but a typical high school experience, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in the spring of 2020, when most students were sophomores.

Like the pandemic-era classes that matriculated before them however, the students accepted the health crisis’s challenges with grace and resilience; two qualities that were celebrated during commencement exercises that were held in the school district stadium.

Nearly 200 graduates walked across the stage to receive their diplomas as members of this year’s graduating class, and Saucon Source congratulates all of them, including valedictorian Charlotte Humphreys, and salutatorian and class president Sean Cherry.

Graduates toss their mortarboards into the air after receiving their diplomas and turning the tassels on their caps Friday.

The student-selected faculty speaker for the ceremony was Jessica Friday, who teaches AP World History, World Cultures and other courses at Saucon Valley High School.

The student-selected speaker for the Class of 2022 was class secretary Avia Weber.

The members of the Saucon Valley High School Class of 1972 also received special recognition during the ceremony, 50 years after they completed the same rite of passage.

The district stadium bleachers were packed by families and friends who attended Friday’s SVHS graduation ceremony.
