The video started with High School Principal Mr. Eric Koenig welcoming the viewers to this presentation. Principal Koenig mentioned that this Class born in 2001 and having to graduate in 2020 will be remembered for its place in history. He said that, with that background, and their willingness to take action in recent years will show how they have learned a number of lessons. Through Academic, Athletic, and life challenges they have already faced, this class of Seniors can use these experiences to face any future obstacles presented to them. Principal Koenig then introduced the Valedictorian Adriana Sarduy to give her address.

The next speaker was Superintendent Dr. Angela Bender with her first Commencement ceremony as head of the Ridgefield Park School District. She said that every graduating class will talk about stories from their High School years, this class will have a distinction unique to themselves.
