Chappaqua Takes 3 of 5 Dartmouth Valedictorian Slots

Dartmouth College's graduation June 8 was a Chappaqua extravaganza. 

Two Horace Greeley High School graduates were valedictorians, college officials tell us—and the commencement speaker from among the college's five valedictorians had attended Grafflin Elementary School.

Earning the co-valedictorian distinction for the 2014 graduating class by each finishing their Dartmouth career with a perfect 4.0 grade point average were Serena Liu ’14, Jonathan Pedde ’14, Ethan Portnoy ’14, Ezra Toback ’14, and Natalie Salmanowitz ’14.

Salmanowitz was selected by the faculty of the College of Arts & Sciences to deliver the Valedictory to the College at the ceremony.

Portnoy and Toback were co-salutatorians at HGHS. Toback's speech at the time stirred up quite a discussion on NewCastleNow.org.
