I was SO honored to be asked to photograph Owego Free Academy’s class of 2017 graduation ceremony! The school graduated 164 students at 10 a.m. on Sat June 24th outdoors on the Owego Free Academy campus.

This class has the highest graduation rate (in OFA history) over a 4-year span at 94%, with a 99% graduation rate since the beginning of this school year. 121 of the students graduated with college credits…one even ended her high school career w/ 46 credits!

This is a group of accomplished athletes, with many of them going to state-qualifying matches and meets. As a collective of athletes, they carried a 92% GPA! Four of the students will be honoring our Country by furthering their futures in the US Military.

Principal Heath Georgia stated this class is all about pride, talent and challenging themselves and others, pushing the envelope just a enough to make them outstanding in the future.

I get to know many high school seniors while shooting their senior portraits and if you’ve read any of my other posts, you know this group is my favorite to photograph!

I LOVE learning about seniors in the hours we spend photographing and it’s a treat to see them on graduation day!


A huge congratulations to OFA class of 2017!
