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, Sabrina Grady ’20, expressed her appreciation for NJC giving her cohort the opportunity of a life time- "We have travelled close to 100,000 km, and have been exposed to 13 different languages. If that doesn't sound like 7 months of adventure, then I don't know what does".
