NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The McCann Postsecondary program graduated 21 students Monday night.
 
School Committee Chairman Gary Rivers addressed the graduates and told them they have already proven themselves.  
 
"You are battle-tested and battle-approved. You have stayed the course and successfully navigated the twists and turns that you have faced this year," he said. "It doesn't surprise me in the least that you are probably all sitting here this evening with a job ready to go as soon as you leave McCann." 
 
He told the graduates to value their life experiences.
 
"Remember experience is knowledge but knowledge is not experience, and I know you all have life experiences that will make you successful in your work or whatever path you follow," he concluded.
 
Superintendent James Brosnan welcomed the graduates and their families in his address and asked the graduates to acknowledge those who have helped them along the way. 
 
"The class of 2024, it is my honor to welcome you," he said. " …We are here to celebrate the class of 2024, and the hard work, and also the family and friends who supported you."
 
He asked the graduates to give a round of applause to friends and family in attendance.
