Commencement for the SPF Class of 2011

class of 2011 celebrates its graduation Wednesday night.

The ceremony starts at 6 p.m. on the school's football field. Wednesday's forecast calls for thunderstorms starting at about 1 p.m. and continuing late into the evening. If school officials decide to hold the ceremony indoors, information will be posted here on Patch and the school's website, according to principal David Heisey.

Family and friends who cannot attend commencement can watch live on Scotch Plains TV's website, www.scotchplainstv.org. This marks the first year that the organization is broadcasting the ceremony live online.

"We’re really excited at the possibilities and opportunities this can bring to our school," Raymond Moskal, TV technician for the district, said in a press release. "The possibility to stream major events live over the web is great for the students to learn in the ever-changing world of technology, as well as a great for the district as a community."

As the students listen to speeches from Heisey, Superintendent Margaret Hayes, Board of Education president Trip Whitehouse, the valedictorian, the salutatorian and others, many will be reflecting on what they have accomplished, and what lays ahead. Below, we present you students' post-graduation plans, as reported by The Fanscotian, the high school's student newspaper.

Correction: This article has been amended to reflect the following correction made June 24, 2011:

A previous version of this story incorrectly spelled Fairleigh Dickinson University and inaccurately reported that graduate Adam Redfield intended to attend the University of Massachusetts-Boston. He has enrolled at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
