Paterson Public Schools Announces Rescheduled Graduation Ceremony for June 26th
Ceremonies will honor students whose graduation was postponed due to extreme heat.
Paterson, NJ (June 24, 2025) – Paterson Public Schools has announced the official rescheduling of the high school graduation ceremony (Ceremony II) for students who were originally set to graduate during the afternoon of June 23rd. The new ceremony date is Thursday, June 26th.
Students from P-TECH High School, Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts, STARS/T.I.E.S. Academy, and STEAM High School will graduate on Thursday at 5:00 pm at John F. Kennedy High School. Eastside High School will host its ceremony at 7:30 pm for its senior class.
“We are looking forward to Thursday’s ceremony and couldn’t be prouder of our graduates," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Laurie W. Newell. “After Monday’s ceremony was cut short due to the weather, it is important to us that every graduate has the opportunity to walk across the stage.”
“Planning a continuation of Monday’s event reflects our commitment to honoring student success,” said Board of Education President Eddie Gonzalez. “Our students worked hard to earn their diplomas, and they deserve to be celebrated. Thursday’s ceremonies will be a special occasion for students and their families.”
"... Thursday’s ceremony will bring our Class of 2025 celebrations to a meaningful close.”
Both ceremonies on June 26th will also be streamed on the district’s website at www.paterson.k12.nj.us for those who cannot attend in person.

Congratulations to Our STEAM Seal of Biliteracy Recipients
Congratulations to Our STEAM Seal of Biliteracy Recipients (Invitation Attached Here)
We proudly celebrate the STEAM High School seniors who qualified for and passed the New Jersey
State Seal of Biliteracy exam. These students demonstrated proficiency in both English and Spanish,
having successfully tested in Spanish to earn this recognition. They proved their ability to read, write,
speak, and understand two languages which is an impressive achievement in our multicultural
society.
The Seal of Biliteracy is recognized in over 40 states and highlights the importance of multilingualism.
Students who earn the seal qualify for college credit, scholarship opportunities, and have an edge in
both higher education and the workforce. We commend our seniors for their hard work, dedication,
and academic excellence. ¡Felicitaciones!
