Niles graduates share memories, plans after today's commencement

WARREN

Commencement ceremonies are always a time for memories and hopes. It was no different for 146 graduating seniors in Niles McKinley’s Class of 2014 who were awarded diplomas today at Packard Music Hall.

“My favorite memory will always be that I was able to play football in my senior year,” said Lorenzo Bianco, who graduated in the top 10 percent of his class. “I had medical issues my first three years, but was cleared to play this year.”

Like Bianco, Gena Leedy plans to enroll at Cleveland State, but has chosen psychology as her major.

Tyler Calhoun said his thoughts are focused after graduation on his entry into the workforce.
