WEST WINDSOR-PLAINSBORO Thousands of family members and friends filled the seats of the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton on Saturday to congratulate the graduates of High School North and High School South.
Students clad in green and gold robes poured into the stadium by 10 a.m. for the 36th annual commencement of High School South. By 1 p.m., the crowd had morphed into a sea of blue robes for North’s ceremony. This year was a landmark for North, the younger of the schools, as it celebrated its 10th graduation.
North’s valedictorian was Renuka Reddy.
