Saratoga Catholic Celebrates Class of 2023

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Central Catholic School honored the Class of 2023 with its annual commencement ceremony at St. Clement’s Church on June 23. 

28 students received their diplomas from the school during the commencement ceremony. SCC principal Christopher Signor, Class of 2023 Advisor and Spanish teacher Susan Barbolt, Dean of Student Life & Coordinator of Affairs Maria Izzo, Class of 2023 Valedictorian Jessica Barnes, and Salutatorian Aidan Dunne spoke during the commencement.

Diocese of Albany Superintendent of Schools Dr. Giovanni Virgiglio, Very Rev. Robert Longobucco of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, and Very Rev. James Ebert of St. Clement’s Church also spoke during the ceremony.

The commencement included a special presentation from Leo Quinn, a member of the Saratoga Catholic Class of 1986.

Quinn’s great-uncle, also named Leo Quinn, was valedictorian of the St. Peter’s Academy Class of 1923, but tragically drowned four days before the ceremony. At Friday’s commencement, Quinn read his great-uncle’s original speech from 100 years prior.
