ANSONIA – A total of 171 eighth graders from Ansonia High School were honored in a virtual graduation program this year, Principal Peter Colaccino has announced.

The program, which features speeches from the building principals, Superintendent of Schools, and Valedictorian, can be viewed at https://youtu.be/3OqDQMsK3Gw

Colaccino spoke about Valedictorian Fahmida Chowdhury and her accomplishments.

“Fahmida’s diligent work ethic and endearing personality were on display each and every day at the middle school,” he said. “She was the female recipient of this year’s CAPSS Award (CT Association of Public Schools Superintendents) as well.
