Montclair High School Class of 2014 'Made Strides'

The Montclair High School amphitheater and auditorium were packed on Monday night, as the Class of 2014 joined the ranks of MHS alumni.

It was an “unspeakably beautiful afternoon,” in Montclair on June 23 as roughly 500 students walked across the amphitheater and received their diplomas.

CBS News Journalist and Class of 2014 parent Jim Axelrod excited the crowd with his commencement address.

Class of 2014 President Audrey Hertzberg delivered an elegant speech as she told of all the successes the Class of 2014 has enjoyed this past year. From state championships to volunteer hours, the Class of 2014 has “made strides.”
