Eighth graders celebrated their final days of middle school surrounded by their peers, families and friends at the annual Northport Middle School Moving-Up Ceremony on June 24.

The ceremony began with students sharing some of their most influential memories from their middle school years, talking about sports, field trips and performing groups as highlights of their time at Northport Middle School.

Principal Dr. Tim Hoss addressed the audience, where he shared with students the importance of the learning process itself and not just the work they complete or projects they do. He also reiterated their ability to create change and the impact they have on the world now and the impact they will have in the future. He also shared that each year, the school gives a name to the graduating class, with the Class of 2024 labeled the “Class of Extraordinary Individuals.”

Assistant Principal Dr. Chelsea Brown shared words of encouragement with students as they continue to Northport High School.

“Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another,” Dr. Brown said. “As you prepare to embark on your adventure of high school, remember to carry with you the lessons you learned at Northport Middle School, cherish your friendships, embrace new opportunities and always strive to be the best version of yourself.”

Congratulations to the Northport Middle School Class of 2024!
