Stamford's Westhill High seniors wore purple for the last time as students of the school Thursday evening when the class celebrated the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one with their graduation.
The class of more than 500 graduating seniors heard from school and government officials and guest speaker, 1994 Westhill graduate and TV reporter Josh Robin.
"You have the chance to be heroes... You have the power to be agents of change," Robin said during a speech that focused mainly on the students' need to focus on remedying the negative effects of climate change. "You have the will and intelligence to be the visionary leaders we need."
Mayor Michael Pavia said he was proud of the graduates for their achievement and is excited to see these students continue to grow and prosper in their hometowns.
"You will become outstanding members of this community," Pavia said. "And remember, as you move forward in your lives, the legacy of a Westhill High School graduate is strong and proud."
