Senior class of 50 graduates from St. Mary Academy-Bay View

Commencement 2024 takes place at traditional Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul locale

St. Mary Academy-Bay View celebrated its 148th commencement as 50 young women from across Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts received their diplomas as members of the Class of 2024 at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Providence Tuesday evening, June 11.

The theme of this year’s ceremony was leadership. Valedictorian Laura DeGirolamo of Rehoboth said during her speech, “Don’t wait to pursue your dreams, go to festivals, never stop making noise, be loud, be bold, protest – be undeniably you.”

Bay View President Amy Gravell, a Class of 1993 alumna, encouraged the graduates to “Illuminate the world with your brilliance, your kindness, your unwavering commitment to making it a better place.”

When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
