The Worcester Public Schools (WPS) congratulates the Class of 2024 graduates from the Gerald Creamer Center, an alternative high school that includes many students who are recent arrivals to the United States through the New Citizens Center Young Adult program.
The GCC graduation ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, June 13, at 10:00 AM at the Hanover Theater, 2 Southbridge Street, Worcester.
GCC has both day and evening programs to accommodate the needs of working students who are often supporting their families. There are 103 graduates from the day program and 51 graduates from the evening program.
GCC is proud of all of its graduates!
Here are a few highlights:
Kevin Fuentes Lopez, age 19, arrived in the U.S. two years ago and experienced homelessness, but persevered to support his mother and younger sibling. While attending GCC/NCC Young Adult, staff supported him as he obtained a driver’s license, purchased a car, and secured a job. Kevin will attend Quinsigamond Community College this fall to major in Business Administration.
Muzamil Emami, age 21, was a recent arrival to the U.S. and worked hard to learn English, fulfill his core requirements, and maintain a full-time job. Despite occasionally working overnight hours, he always arrived at school with a smile.
Nevaeh Horton, age 18, was a member of the student council where she built leadership skills. She advocated for students and alternative programs as a student representative on the Worcester School Committee. She will be working and attending college.
Josh Lighten, age 19, has maintained honor roll grades while also taking college courses through the Gateway Program at Quinsigamond Community College. Josh's leadership skills shine through his involvement in the Community Harvest Project and his contributions to organizing various school initiatives. He recently addressed the Worcester School Committee about the benefits of being a student at GCC.
