The ceremony opened with the presentation of colors by the Revere High School JROTC Color Guard and a performance of the National Anthem by seniors Emily Ardone, Dina Oufessa, Hadassa Negrini, and Izabelly Alves Dos Santos. Senior Jaleeyah Figueroa Capunay, the School Committee student representative and RHS Poet Laureate, led the Pledge of Allegiance and recited her original poem, Where Our Footsteps Meet, setting the tone for an evening refl ecting on shared journeys and future possibilities. Revere High School Principal Christopher Bowen challenged graduates to carry with them one of the lessons he believes defi nes the Revere experience: the importance of creating community wherever they go. “Build community wherever you go,” Bowen told graduates. “The measure of your life will not simply be whether you found community. It will be whether you helped build it for someone else.” CLASS OF 2026 | SEE Page 7 TIE GOES TO THE WINNERS: RHS Co-Salutatorians Rose Cao, at left, and Ethan Men enjoyed a friendly competition for a higher grade point average.

Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026 I’ve been told this speech needs to be a few minutes long. So, to the proud families, esteemed faculty, friends, and everyone watching online, good evening and welcome. I’ve had some people ask me Adam Ashour Revere High School Valedictorian Class of 2026 Graduation Address F ellow students, congratulations. Congratulations. Now, I would end it there, but why I won’t be packing my bags and traveling anywhere immediately after graduation. The answer is simple: The World Cup starts tomorrow. But before that, we have so much to celebrate from our own lives. By being here today, we’ve made our parents, caregivers, and guardians proud. “WE’RE STILL HERE!” Since 1947 MALDEN AUTO BODY Book online: Maldenauto.com 49 Robin St., Everett, MA 617-389-3030 * Maldenab@yahoo.com Over 79 years of exceptional service! Massone Family Owned & Operated Look behind you. And yes, I mean literally look behind you. The people sitting there are responsible for who you are today, what you stand for, and how you got here. Personally, it is my mother, father, and brother who have shaped me and my upbringing. For many of you, it’s the same. So before anything else, let’s give a round of applause to our families. However, it isn’t just our families who have helped us reach this moment. Revere High School itself has played an enormous role. And yes, Revere High School is an institution—an advanced one. Let’s take a moment to think about what we’ve accomplished. We’ve completed four years of classes. Many of us have taken some of the most unique courses imaginable—from Ceramics to AP United States History to AP Physics. At the same time, many of us worked jobs while attending school full-time. Many of us completed internships. Students from our class have worked in middle schools, trained at City Hall, and even helped patients at Massachusetts General Hospital. The opportunities available to us didn’t happen by accident. This school provided us with the time, the support, the extracurricular activities, the job opportunities, and the rigorous academic experiences that allowed us to grow. We have competed directly against public schools, charter schools, and private schools— and we have succeeded. From national competitions with our outstanding JROTC program to track athletes setting records, to students competing in speech and debate tournaments across the country, the Class of 2026 has left its mark. I’d like to share a couple of personal examples. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in international competitions through Harvard Model Congress, where Revere students have consistently excelled. I’ve also been part of a robotics program that isn’t just one of the best in the region, or the state, or even the country. It’s one of the best in the world. Go Neutrons. Many of us spent countless hours after school. Some stayed for sports. Some stayed for clubs. Others stayed to work on projects, performances, competitions, or simply to get ahead academically. For me, many of those hours were spent preparing for Mock Trial and other activities with teachers who constantly pushed us to do our best. Because of all of these opportunities and accomplishments, we have helped make Revere a place worth celebrating. So celebrate today. Celebrate where you come from. Because right now, you’re from Revere High School. And Revere High School is on the map. In fact, many of us spent so much time earning college credits that we practically became college students before graduating. Early College students have earned substantial college credit. Dual Enrollment students have done the same. Personally, I’ve carried fi ve student IDs at once: Suff olk University. Salem State University. North Shore Community College. lege. Bunker Hill Community ColAnd Revere High School. Revere gave us the opportunity to learn alongside older, more experienced students while we were still in high school. That’s something special. So let this serve as a reminder: Take advantage of every opportunity. Use your time wisely. Education and opportunity only matter if you’re willing to seize them. This is Revere High School. This is where we come from. And this is a place we can all be proud of. Today, thank the people who helped get you here. Thank the mentors who guided you through opportunities and challenges. Thank the teachers who pushed you to excel in mathematics, science, writing, language, advocacy, and leadership. Thank the educators who believed in you before you believed in yourself. And most importantly, thank the caregivers, guardians, and family members who helped shape the people you’ve become. For me, that means my mother, my father, and my brother. For you, it may be someone diff erent. But all of us have people who helped make this day possible. So thank them. Now, how do I end this? Oh, I know. Congratulations, Class of 2026. We did it.

Henry he first significant settlement of Italian immigrants in Massachusetts, and subsequently in Revere, began to occur in the late 1890’s. Upon their arrival in Massachusetts, many Italian immigrants took residency in the tenement districts of Boston’s North End, West End and East Boston. After securing steady jobs and saving enough money many of the Italian immigrant families began to move out of Boston’s urban setting and into areas like Revere which were less congested where more suburban living space was plentiful. Revere was particularly attractive to the new arrivals inasmuch as it off ered them houses accompanied with enough 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

Revere was a place where Italian culture could survive in America-a place where an Italian ethic community could grow to become a vital sector of American society. During the early 1900’s www.810bargrille.com the Italian population of Revere had grown signifi cantly enough that local records identifi ed it as the fasting growing ethic group in the town. During those early years, nearly 60 percent of births in the Town of Revere were to foreign-born parents, the majority of whom, 18 percent, were of Italian descent, becoming one First Mass at new Saint Anthony’s Church June 6, 2026 of the largest single immigrant groups in Revere at that time. Additionally, statistics from the early Federal census also show a heavy Italian out-migration from the North End, West End and East Boston into Revere. Italian households in Massachusetts and in Revere were multigenerational during this era and were notably large, often averaging 12 residents. This came about as a combination of high birth rates and the common practice of “chain migration” where extended family members or boarders from the same Italian village, immigrated to Revere, and shared the same household.

First Saint Anthony’s Red Brick Church circa 1981 First Saint Anthony’s Chapel Revere Street and Elmwood Street circa 1905 As the Italian population in Revere grew and Italian immigrant neighborhoods began to form, particularly in the Revere Street area, Italian commerce began to emerge providing a wide variety of Italian oriented goods and services. The fi rst generation of Italian immigrants to Revere faced and overcame many obstacles in their struggle to adjust to life in their new location. The one most diffi cult problem was the lack of an Italian-speaking church. By 190 the need for an Italian Catholic priest to provide for the religious needs of the Italian community grew so great that the Italian residents of Revere banded together and petitioned the then Archbishop of Boston, John Williams, for a priest who could speak their language. In response to the petition from Revere’s Italian Catholics, Archbishop Williams in 190 authorized the establishment of a mission church in Revere specifi cally to care for the religious needs of Revere’s Italian Catholics. The Archbishop designated a priest from the Sacred Heart Church in Boston’s North End to come to Revere to establish a mission for Revere’s Italian immigrants’ and to help establish an Italian-speaking church. By 1905 land was secured on Revere Street to build an Italian-speaking church under the name of Saint Anthony of Padua. In the spring of 1905 ground was broken for the building of the basement of the new red brick church on Revere Street, the present site of the Friendly Gardens Senior Citizen Housing building. During the construction of the new church a temporary chapel was established in a home located on the corner of Revere Street and Elmwood Street where the first On April 1,1906 the basement of the fi rst Italian Church in Revere was completed, consecrated and an Italian language Mass was celebrated before a throng of Revere’s Italian Catholics. In August of 1910 Cardinal Williams installed Father Ernesto Rovai, a young priest, educated at the theological seminary near Florence Italy, as pastor of Saint Anthony’s church. Being the only Italian Catholic church outside of Boston, Saint Anthony’s was designated as an “Italian National Church” established for the purpose of attending to the spiritual welfare of Italian immigrants and their families. As pastor of the “Italian National Church”, Father Rovai was obligated to respond to the religious needs of Italian Catholics living in Revere as well as the nearby communities of Chelsea, Malden, Medford, Everett, Lynn, Saugus and Winthrop.

Page 6 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026 BASILICA | FROM Page 5 Saint Anthony’s small basement church necessitated the building of a new church, one larger and more spacious. Father Rovai embarked upon a program to construct a new church large enough to accommodate a parish population, which by 1920 was made up of 10,000 parishioners. In the fall of 192 Father Rovai entered into discussions with the Mayor and City Council of the City of Revere to acquire City owned land on Revere Street to build the new Saint Anthony’s Church. On November 19, 192 the City of Revere approved the sale of a parcel of land on Revere Street, to be conveyed to Saint Anthony’s Parish for the sum of twelvethousand dollars in 192 dolSummer is Here!

Upon the purchase of the land for the new church and with thirty-eight thousand in 192 dollars raised from Saint Anthony’s parishioners (equivalent to nearly seven-hundred and twentythousand in 2026 dollars) Father Rovai commissioned architect Edward Graham to design plans for the construction of the new church which Father Rovai stipulated be in the Italian Tuscan style reminiscent of the style of churches in Toscana, Italy. Mr. Graham estimated that the construction cost of the new church would be one hundred thousand in 192 dollars (equivalent to nearly two million 2026 dollars.) Before construction of the new church could proceed Father Rovai fi rst had to secure permission from the then Archbishop of Boston, William Cardinal O’Connell. The Cardinal advised Father Rovai in 192 that the Archdiocese of Boston could not give permission for the construction of the new church that would cost one hundred thousand dollars until “ a goodly sum of money was on hand.” On August 16,192 Father Rovai again wrote to the Cardinal stating, “in less than one year the parishioners of Saint Anthony’s parish had contributed fiftyone thousand in 192 dollars (equivalent to nearly one million dollars in 2026 dollars) for the new church, and the raising of this huge sum had meant untold hardships for his parishioners who are poor people.” After a few months of deliberation the Cardinal granted permission to begin the construction of the new church on November 2, 192. Finally, in 1925, the ground was consecrated and the foundation was laid for the new church of Saint Anthony of Padua, or as Cardinal O’Connell often referred to it in 1925 as, “ The Basilica on Revere Street.” On June 6,1926 with more than two thousand people in attendance, Father Rovai celebrated the dedication of, “The Basilica on Revere Street” as well as the silver jubilee of his ordination into the priesthood. The exterior of the church was completed at a cost of fi ve hundred thousand in 1926 dollars (equivalent to nine million fi ve-hundred thousand in 2026 dollars) far over the architect’s original estimate of one hundred thousand dollars. Encumbered by a huge debt in excess of four hundred thousand dollars in 1926 (equivalent to seven million fi ve-hundred thousand dollars in 2026 dollars) Father Rovai halted the completion of the interior of the church until the debt could be liquidated. Unfortunately, the Great Depression of 1929 brought such severe fi - nancial hardships that the parishioners of Saint Anthony’s church could no longer aff ord to give the generous donations that in the past had sustained the construction eff ort. Father Rovai would struggle hard in the coming years to try to chip away at the enormous debt, but would never see the easing of the parish’s fi nancial woes. Though the parish was in serious debt during the 190’s hope seemed to be just over the horizon, when Father Rovai, the beloved pastor whose dream made Saint Anthony’s church a reality, died on August 21,19 after having served his parish for thirty-three years. On October , 19, Father Guido L. Pallotta was appointed as Administrator of Saint Anthony’s Parish, the largest Italian Catholic parish in Massachusetts. Father Pallotta immediately undertook the awesome task of liquidating the substantial debt that had been consolidated by Cardinal O’Connell, from four hundred thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars. In addition to Father Pallotta’s debt liquidation eff orts, Father Pallotta undertook the restoration and completion of the church interior, which by that time, had not been completed for nearly twenty years. In 19 Father Pallotta commissioned Architect, John Guarino to serve as church architectural renovator. In addition Father Pallotta retained Charles H. Pizzano an amazing sculptor to serve as church ecclesiastical sculptor. It was Mr. Pizzano, often referred to as the Michelangelo of Saint Anthony’s, who created most of the hand carved beautiful life-sized wooden statues and artwork that adorns the interior of the church to this day. (Mr. Pizzano’s father was the the contractor who built the original red brick church in 1905.) The beautiful interior of Saint Anthony’s Church is a lasting monument to the artistic collaboration eff orts of Father Pallotta, John Guarino, Charles Pizzano and Carmine Carbone, who was responsible for church murals.

CLASS OF 2026 | FROM Page 1 Drawing inspiration from advice given by playwright and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda to students participating in Revere High School’s fi rst musical production in more than three decades, Bowen reminded students of a message painted inside the school auditorium: “Remember to be a community every second you’re on stage.” Bowen encouraged graduates to look beyond their accomplishments and recognize the countless individuals who contributed to their success, from family members and teachers to mentors, friends, and even those who challenged them along the way. “Our society loves to recognize individual achievement,” Bowen said. “But none of us gets far alone. Every opportunity we have is shaped by relationships.” CityLab Innovation High School Principal Dr. Stacey Mulligan highlighted a historic milestone for the district, recognizing the fi rst group of students to attend CityLab from freshman year through graduation. “This year, we celebrate CityBASILICA | FROM Page 6 ta celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination to the priesthood and in 1955 in recognition of his extraordinary abilities and genius in fulfi lling his sacred and worldly responsibilities to Saint Anthony’s Parish, Father Pollatta was elevated by Pope Pius XII to the rank of domestic prelate, bearing the title of Right Reverend Monsignor. Monsignor Pallotta was the fi rst Italian American to achieve the rank in the Lab’s very fi rst cohort to attend CityLab from freshman year to graduation,” Mulligan said. “You are not just part of the fi rst. You are the reason it exists.” Mulligan refl ected on Revere’s history as a city of fi rsts, from hosting America’s fi rst public beach to its role in the American Revolution, drawing parallels between those milestones and CityLab’s emergence as Revere’s fi rst innovation high school. “Before there were traditions, before there was a roadmap, there was you,” she told graduates. “You built the culture. You created the energy. You defi ned what this school would stand for.” Mayor Patrick Keefe also addressed graduates, encouraging them to embrace both empathy and perseverance as they move into the next chapter of their lives. “Life can feel at times like a giant competition,” Keefe said. “I believe that the most powerful version of yourself is one that is both deeply empathetic and fi ercely unrelenting.” Keefe described empathy as a form of strength and intelligence, urging students to seek understanding even when conArchdiocese of Boston and the fi rst Revere Pastor ever to receive that designation. Monsignor Pallotta’s accomplishments as Pastor of Saint Anthony of Padua Church were many; among the most prominent of which was in eliminating the church debt; the raising of a substantial amount of money with which he improved all of the church grounds; the completion of the renovation and refurbishment of the massive interior of the church; and construcTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026 fronted with different viewpoints and experiences. “The world doesn’t need more people who are merely successful,” he said. “It needs more people who are kind, brave, and relentless in the pursuit of a better way.” Student speakers echoed many of the evening’s themes. Senior Class President Kepler Celamy refl ected on the relationships that shaped his experience in Revere Public Schools, recalling teachers, counselors, advisors, and classmates who helped him fi nd a sense of belonging. “Success isn’t just about fi nding what you want to do,” Celamy said. “It’s about fi nding the people who help you become who you’re meant to be.” Co-salutatorian Ethan Men, who will attend Harvard University in the fall, used stories about trying unfamiliar foods to encourage classmates to embrace uncertainty and take risks. “You won’t know when you’re ready,” Men said. “It’s a leap of faith. That’s all it is.” CityLab speaker Dulce Aguilar Cadenas refl ected on helping build a school community from the ground up and the tion of a new church rectory and the reconstruction of a new church bell tower. Monsignor Pallotta amazingly completed Saint Anthony’s Church that justified what Cardinal O’Connell often referred to Saint Anthony’s Church as, “ The Basilica on Revere Street.” (John J. Henry served as City Clerk of the City of Revere for 2 years from 1977 to 2009. He has written numerous articles about Revere and its people.) Page 7 unique experiences that came with attending a new school. “Completing our four years as CityLab students means more than just the achievement of completing high school,” Aguilar Cadenas said. “We’ve done much more than that by curating the experience for many other classes to come.” Co-salutatorian Rose Cao delivered a heartfelt address focused on mental health, vulnerability, and the importance of seeking support. “At the beginning of this year, I sought real mental health support,” Cao said. “After you take that fi rst step, seek solace in your community. You don’t need to face anything alone.” Cao urged classmates to prioritize their well-being and lean on trusted friends, family members, and mentors when facing challenges. Valedictorian Adam Ashour celebrated the accomplishments of the Class of 2026, highlighting students’ success in academics, athletics, internships, early college programs, robotics, speech and debate, JROTC, and other extracurricular activities. “We have directly competed against other public schools, charter schools, and private schools and prevailed,” Ashour said. “Revere High is on the map.” Ashour encouraged graduates to take full advantage of future opportunities while remembering the educators and family members who helped them reach graduation day. Following the student addresses, school leaders certifi ed that members of the Class of 2026 had fulfi lled all graduation requirements, and graduates crossed the stage to receive their diplomas. The ceremony concluded with a fi nal acknowledgment of CityLab’s founding class and a celebratory dismissal from Bowen and Mulligan as families erupted into cheers. For the graduates of Revere High School and CityLab Innovation High School, the evening marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Yet throughout the ceremony, one message resonated above all others: success is strongest when built together. As Bowen reminded graduates before they left the stadium, “The stage is yours now. Build community wherever you go.” Caps off to the Class of 2026. Congratulations! 100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906 WINWASTESAUGUS.COM

Ventura Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. G ood Evening Friends, families, faculty, and — most importantly — the Class of 2026. I try each year to deliver a message that not only has an impact, but is memorable so that, years down the road, you can refl ect on something more meaningful than just a “good luck” on the next chapter of your life. I feel this responsibility as a parent and as your Mayor. My message to you is simple, yet very complex. Life can feel at times like a giant competition. We are told that to win, you must be the strongest, the loudest, the smartest, and even the most guarded. We are told empathy is a “soft skill,” or even a sign of weakness, something to set aside when it’s time to get down to business. I’m here to argue the opposite. I believe that the most powerful version of yourself is the one that is both deeply empathetic and fi ercely unrelenting. To be empathetic is not just about being “nice.” True empathy is a form of deep intelligence. It is the discipline required to look at someone whose life, politics, or struggles are entirely diff erent from your own and say, “I see you. I want to understand you and want to be understood. In a world that thrives on snap judgments and “us versus them” mentalities, choosing to understand someone is a radical act of strength. It is the bridge that allows us to solve problems that others say are impossible. But empathy without action is just a feeling. And that is where being tenacious comes in. Life is going to give you a thousand reasons to “throw in the towel” and walk away, give up and give in. There will be moments when your kindness is mistaken for weakness, or when your vision is met with silence. In those moments, you must have an iron will. Being unrelenting means that once you have used your empathy to identify a problem—whether it’s an injustice in your community or a hurdle in your career— you do not stop until you’ve moved the needle. Think of the leaders who changed the world. They weren’t just “tough.” They were moved by the plight of others, and they used that empathy as fuel for an unstoppable fi re. They were soft enough to care, but hard enough to endure. So, as we walk out of this stadium today, challenge you to be a “compassionate and fi erce competitor.” Don’t let the world harden you into someone who doesn’t care, but don’t let your sensitivity turn you into a victim. Be the person who listens intently, who feels deeply, and who works harder than anyone else in the room to make things better. The world doesn’t need more people who are merely “successful.” It needs more people who are kind, brave, and relentless in the pursuit of a better way. Be a Compassionate Warrior. Class of 2026. Congratulations Go out there, stay human, be kind, be ferocious, and relentless.
Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026 CityLab Principal Dr. Stacey Mulligan G ood evening CityLab and RHS families, Graduation is more than a ceremony—it is a moment fi lled with pride, refl ection, and possibility. It is a celebration of the City of Revere’s most precious gift—its children—and the journeys that have brought them to this milestone. Each year, we gather in this stadium to honor a graduating class, but this year carries something even deeper. This year, we celebrate CityLab’s very fi rst cohort to attend CityLab from freshmen year to graduation. The City of Revere has always taken pride in being “fi rst.” It is home to Revere Beach, opened in 1896 as the first public beach in the United States—a place created so that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, could stand at the water’s edge and feel that they belonged. Revere was also the site of the Battle of Chelsea Creek in 1775, recognized as the fi rst naval engagement of the American Revolution—a moment when ordinary people stepped forward and shaped the course of history. We often call ourselves the “fi rst city north of Boston,” but being fi rst has never just been about location. It has always been about courage—the courage to lead, to build, and to create something that did not exist before. And yet, our history also asks us to remember more. The Rumney Marsh Burial Ground holds the graves of 16 formerly enslaved Black individuals—lives that remind us that progress is not simple, and that the work of building a more just and inclusive community belongs to each of us. And today, we add another “fi rst” to the story of Revere— CityLab, the first innovation high school in this city. To our graduates: you are not just part of this fi rst—you are the reason it exists. Before there were traditions, before there was a roadmap, there was you. You walked into something new and uncertain, and you made it real. You built the culture. You created the energy. You defi ned what this school would stand for. That is not easy work. That is brave work. Years from now, when people talk about CityLab, they will talk about you—the class that started it all. So wherever your path leads, carry this with you: you know how to begin. You know how to lead. You know how to build something from nothing. That is your power. And to the families—thank you. Thank you for trusting us, for believing in a vision that did not yet exist, and for taking a chance on something new. You took a leap of faith— not just on this school, but on me—and I am deeply grateful. CityLab Student Dulce Aguilar Cadenas W elcome to everyone here to see our graduating class and their accomplishments. For those who may not know, my name is Dulce Aguilar Cadenas. I’m a part of the CityLab High School graduating class. When I applied to cityLab, the thought of standing up here would’ve never crossed my mind. I would’ve rejected the idea.I’m glad the people I’ve met here have helped me become much more outgoing. This “non-traditional high school” experience is nothing like I thought it’d be; Especially when your orientation summer program consists of painting the bulletin boards in classrooms in the middle of renovation. I did not think I’d get stuck outside a Starbucks for my fi rst ELO, where I met my best friend, as well as most of the CityLab would not be what it is without your courage and your partnership. And now, it is my honor to recognize the students who made this history real—the founding graduating class of CityLab. CityLab’s fi rst, forever—as I call your name, please rise and remain standing to be recognized as trailblazers who turned a vision into reality: Dulce Aguilar Cadenas Jennifer Aguilar Santos Catriel Alves Anthony Berry Omar Ben Mustapha James Cerrate Kimberly Costello Sophia Santana DaSilva Vittorio Desimone Angelo Testa Duff y Deyae Elouazzani Christian Flores Evelyn Zapata Garcia Kiara Gonzalez Altamirano Jeremy Grijalva Amishia Merveille Matthew Isaza Moncada Aries Maldonado Kendrick Merida Lopez Kimberely Moore Mya Osias Jernonimo Osorio Alvarez Jose Luis Perez Alcaron Esli Reyes Argueta David Rodriguez Joshua Rodriguez Katherine Santos Garza Jose Torres Cindy Vasquez Guzman Angel Villanueva Aviles Congratulations on all you have achieved. Tonight, we celebrate you—not just for fi nishing this journey, but for having the courage to start it. The future is not something you are waiting for. It is something you have already begun to create. people I’d spend the rest of high school with. I also didn’t expect to then spend my last two years riding the orange line to college every day, exploring Boston during gap periods, and proofreading each other’s essays before we printed them out for our professor. I know I already graduated in January, but standing here makes it feel much more real. I’d like to acknowledge the students who worked on our murals at the beginning of freshman year, adding color to the memories of our cityLab experience. I will miss walking past our STEAM mural, even if our unity as a class. I still remember Brazil versus Croatia in Mr. Vittorio’s class and the absolute chaos that followed when Brazil lost. Looking back, though, I realize it wasn’t really about soccer. It was about community. I didn’t always have that sense Kepler Celamy Revere High School Senior Class President Class of 2026 Graduation Address W hat’s good, Class of 2026? Oh my goodness, this moment feels so surreal. Graduates, I know you’re probably sick of me saying “What’s good?” But nothing beats those loud bells, the annoying intercom interruptions, the endless emails, or whatever else I may have spammed you with over the years. Soon, all of that is going to change because we’re offi cially done with high school. As class president, I want to take a moment to refl ect on the class that I have been blessed to be a part of. From the moment we entered this building, this class was about bringing people together. In 2022, when we fi rst entered Revere High School and CityLab, the FIFA World Cup was taking place. Students were proudly representing their countries, cultures, and backgrounds. For a moment, our diff erences didn’t divide us—they connected us. Students who may never have spoken to one another suddenly had something in common. Whether you were cheering for Brazil, Morocco, Mexico, or another country, we all came together through our shared pride and passion. That was just the beginning of it was while being a few minutes late to class. I want to thank every teacher who made the experience I will look back on. I will always be very proud of those who made our school traditions possible, especially that fi rst Halloween movie night. I’m so grateful for all the clubs I’ve been able to experience, and the teachers who recommended I join any clubs at all. Most importantly, I’d like to thank Asahina Sensei. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a class as much as I’ve loved yours. It didn’t just give me knowledge of another language, of community. When I moved to Revere in third grade, I struggled to fi t in until I met one of the greatest teachers in Revere, Mrs. Knox. Not only did she make me feel welcome at Whelan School, but she also inspired me to pursue my passion for wildlife. Thank you so much, Mrs. Knox. I love you. You are a star in my Revere community. Then middle school came, and I spent plenty of time in Mr. Pachinsky’s and Mrs. Kennedy’s offi ces—for all the wrong reasons. As sixth grade was ending, COVID arrived, and Mr. Pachinsky and Mrs. Kennedy fi nally got some peace and quiet. When I entered high school, I met my guidance counselor, Mrs. Chamberlain. She asked me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” But instead of simply listening, she encouraged me to join the Outdoor Club led by Ms. Goldman, which helped me take the fi rst steps toward that future. That’s where I found my people. That’s where I found my community. And I know many of you found your people, too. Some of you found them on athletic teams. CELAMY | SEE Page 21 but a very close-knit friend group as well. You’ve taught me something priceless. I’m amazed at the impact of everything that has led to the school we have today. I’m proud of everyone representing us today, and everyone who participated, even if they are not a part of cityLab anymore. Completing our four years as cityLab students means more than just the achievement of completing high school. We’ve done much more than that by curating that experience for many other classes to come, and I hope our impact will be long lasting. Thank you
THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2026 Page 15 I felt lost. Tonight, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. And I’m sure my good friend Nat is going to love this story, because it involves food. Ever since I was young, I’ve always been willing to try new foods. I was the kid whose eyes waEthan Men Revere High School Co-Salutatorian Class of 2026 Graduation Address H ello everyone. I hope you’re all doing well. First, I want to thank our faculty, families, and especially our teachers for taking such an interest in our success—not only as students, but as growing people. Thank you to my family for giving me everything a son could ask for. A special thank you to Josh for being not only a great teacher and mentor, but also someone I could always turn to. And thank you to Isaac Harrington, my first mentor and a close friend who has always provided guidance whenever tered after eating a block of wasabi. The kid who groaned in disgust after swallowing a clove of garlic. The kid whose face turned bright red after trying foods that were completely unfamiliar to me. While I was always willing to put something new in my mouth, I can’t honestly say I was fearless. Before every bite, thousands of thoughts would run through my mind. What if I don’t like this? What if it’s disgusting? What if I’m allergic to it? But no matter how diffi cult it was to swallow, I always learned something new about myself by the time it was over. Whether I loved the food or whether it gave me hives, I nevcountless other tragedies unfolding around the world. At the same time, the mental health crisis continues to grow. And for many of us, these last Rose Cao Revere High School Co-Salutatorian Class of 2026 Graduation Address G reetings, Class of 2026. Hello friends, family, faculty, and most importantly, my fellow graduates. Congratulations. We made it. For the past month, I’ve been scrolling through TikTok, hoping to gather inspiration for this speech. I’ve watched graduation speeches from celebrities, Revere High School alumni, and countless others who offered optimistic messages about the future. I searched for an inspirational message to share with all of you today. But I struggled. My feed was fi lled with videos of war, families separated by immigration enforcement, and four years have not been easy. My freshman year was the fi rst time in my life that I couldn’t envision a future for myself beyond high school. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to go to college. It was because I had reached a point where I simply couldn’t see beyond the challenges in front of me. People often say that when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. But when you’re there, “up” can feel impossible. Statistics tell us that one in fi ve students in the United States seriously considers suicide, and nearly half of all adolescents will experience a mental health disorder at some point during their youth. The frightening reality is that you never know who is part of those statistics. It could be the person sitting to your left. It could be the person sitting to your right. All of us carry struggles that er regretted trying it. Now, when someone asks me to eat a block of wasabi, I can confi dently say: “Been there, done that.” The lessons I’ve learned from trying diff erent foods aren’t all that diff erent from the lessons I’ve learned from my amazing teachers. And I’m not talking about learning integration by parts through food examples or discovering how to address an audience through classroom presentations. I’m talking about the lessons that really matter. The lessons about kindness. The lessons about being open-minded toward diff erent cultures. The lessons about taking leaps of faith. Today, we are recognized for our achievements and perseverance over the last four years. Along the way, we’ve all learned something new in our classes. We’ve all explored new places. We’ve all made new friends. And we’ve all stepped outside our comfort zones. While this marks the end of others cannot always see. The stigma surrounding mental health often creates a cage that forces people to repress their emotions and suff er in silence, afraid of being labeled as weak, sensitive, or overly emotional. At the beginning of this year, I sought professional mental health support. Everyone says that taking the fi rst step is the hardest part. And they’re right. But after you take that first step, seek comfort in your community. It may be the family waiting for you at home after a difficult day. It may be the friends who have stood beside you through every challenge. These people can help lift you up. You do not need to face your struggles alone. After leaving here tonight, remember to reach out when you encounter life’s inevitable hardships. Sometimes, it only takes one hand reaching out to help guide someone toward the light. One of my favorite characters, Tony Stark, once said: our high school careers, it also marks a beginning. The beginning of our growth as independent individuals. But I can assure you of one thing: The learning doesn’t stop here. The growing doesn’t stop here. We will continue to learn and grow for the rest of our lives. And that journey begins now. Many of us will be moving away from family. Many will be living on our own for the fi rst time. Some will attend college. Others will enter the workforce. And with these new experiences will come new feelings— doubt, stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. At some point, you’ll ask yourself: “Will I know when I’m ready?” “How will I know when I’m ready?” ready?” “When will I know when I’m I want to tell you something important: You won’t. It’s a leap of faith. “It’s an imperfect world, but it’s the only one we’ve got.” So as you leave here today, I ask you to take care of our imperfect world. The world does not heal overnight. It is built through countless acts of kindness, empathy, and respect. Find your community. Reach out for help when you need it. Find your people. And let them fi nd you. But most importantly, take care of yourself. Your health comes fi rst. Never settle for less than you deserve, and never remain in an environment that does not value you. There is a place for everyone. I could not be more grateful for the people who helped me through my own journey. Thank you to my parents for always reminding me to take care of myself, no matter how ambitious I became. To my older brother, Joseph, thank you for being my first best friend. To my younger brothers, John and Vincent, thank you for pushing me to become a better stuThat’s all it is. A leap of faith. You may have heard those words before, but let me tell you what they really mean. Be a risk-taker. Because it is the hard things in life that force you to grow. It is hard to learn something new. It is hard to talk to someone you don’t know. And it is defi nitely hard to try, try, and try again. It’s even harder when you fail, fail, and fail again. The truth is that it may never get easier. The uncertainty may never completely disappear. But if you spend your life waiting for the perfect day, you’ll be waiting forever. So take that leap of faith. In that moment, it may feel like your body is moving on its own. Jump at opportunities to help people. Jump at the chance to meet someone new. And always jump at the chance to try a new food. Thank you, everyone, and have a great day. dent and a better person. Thank you to Josh for being not just a teacher, but a mentor and trusted adult for so many students. Thank you to Ms. Goldman for believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself. Thank you to Mrs. Tenzi for teaching us how to have productive and meaningful discussions. Thank you to Ms. Samansky for teaching me to take ownership of my education. Thank you to Ms. Cao for reviewing my countless drafts and always providing thoughtful feedback. Thank you to Mr. Castello for helping me bring this speech to life. And thank you to everyone who helped create spaces where students could celebrate their identities and cultures. Finally, thank you to my friends and everyone in this audience who, often without realizing it, became part of the reason I chose to seek help. Because of you, we will continue making memories, exploring Boston, and sharing our lives together for many years to come. Congratulations, Class of 2026.

I learned that success isn’t just about finding what you want to do. It’s about finding the people who help you become who you’re meant to be. I also want to recognize someone who supported the success of this class every step of the way: Mr. Bowen. Mr. Bowen helped shape the Page 21 spirit of this graduating class. From helping us navigate confl icts to building connections among students, staff, and families, he created a space where community could thrive. Thank you for your leadership, your dedication, and your belief in the students of Revere High School. Please join me in giving him a round of applause. I also want to thank our incredible Student Council adviser, Mrs. Tenzi. She wasn’t just a teacher. She wasn’t just a club adviser. She was a pillar of our community. She shared information, built relationships with students, and always showed up for us. I am so thankful to have had her as our adviser. Thank you for everything. I couldn’t have done this without the support of our class offi cers—Emily, Samantha, Jade, and Ada. These four amazing women helped not only me, but the entire Class of 2026 throughout our high school journey. From bake sales to Haunted Hallways and everything in between, they worked tirelessly to make our class stronger. Please give them a round of applause. I know every one of you has teachers, staff members, and mentors who became part of your community. When I think of mine, I think of Jalia Figueroa, Kathy Nuang, Brian Contreras Ortega, the nurses, the custodians, our JROTC instructors, and so many teachers and staff members who helped make Revere High School feel like home. Thank you. As a class, we demonstrated resilience, strength, and unity. We navigated the aftermath of remote learning. We showed up for one another during diffi cult moments. We advocated for issues that mattered to us. We participated in a senior prank that brought students and teachers to tears—literally. And we gathered together at Senior Sunrise to refl ect on how far we had come. So, although this isn’t the RHS intercom and this isn’t another message in the senior group chat, I want to leave you with one fi nal thought. A strong community is the map that helps you remember where you started and gives you direction for the journey ahead. I wish all of you the very best in the future. May you always be surrounded by people who support your dreams and help you become the best version of yourself. Congratulations, Class of 2026.
