Class Valedictorian

Every year, the students and faculty vote to select an exceptional representative to serve as Class Valedictorian. He or she is considered to be the student who best represents the ideals of the class. The Valedictorian ultimately delivers a speech on graduation day, with at least a segment in French, that encapsulates the experiences, friendships and life cultivated at NJC. 
This year’s Valedictorian, Zita '22, gave a heartfelt speech recounting her time at NJC and stepping outside her comfort zone. She encouraged her classmates to maintain their vibrant spirits as they move on to the next stage of their life.
