Almost all members of the class of 2011 went to college.
Julie Patterson, the director of School Counseling at Chatham High School, gave her presentation on the class of 2011 to the Board of Education Monday. Of the 245 most recent graduates from the high school, Patterson said, 98 percent went into two- or four-year colleges. The remainder, a total of five students, went into technical schools or straight into employment. Of the 98 percent who went to colleges and universities, 92 percent chose to attend four-year institutions. Of the classes of 2010 and 2011, 68 percent stayed in the eastern U.S. for college but only 10 percent stayed in New Jersey. "We were thinking that number might increase somewhat. There are lots of perks for students to stay in our state, especially our top students, but…

Valedictorian Katie Hurt: '20 years from now, we'll all look back on our Chatham days and smile.'
Throughout the 23rd Commencement Exercises at Chatham High School on Friday night was an eye on the past, back to when the first class of Chatham seniors graduated in 1911. "There were six students in 1911, three boys and three girls," Principal Darren Groh said in his speech. "Today, the class has grown to 246 seniors, 123 boys and 123 girls." Groh also noted that the salutatorian from 1911 and Sabhyta Sabharwal, the salutatorian in 2011, both chose to attend Middlebury College. For video from Chatham's graduation ceremony, click here. Superintendent Jim O'Neill, in his last Chatham graduation before he retires on June 30, also had one eye on the past in his speech, joking that he wished the superintendent from 1911 had started the …

A nighttime boat trip around Manhattan concludes the commencement traditions at Chatham High.
After the commencement ceremonies ceased Friday, graduates returned to Chatham High School for Project Graduation. Volunteer parents organized the sign-in and bus assignments for the students, and gave away gift cards, head phones and flat-screen TVs in a raffle drawing. At 11:30 p.m., the students loaded their buses for a trip to New York City, where they were to board a boat for a nighttime cruise around the city.

The youngest of three, Sabharwal will attend Middlebury College in the fall.
It might have been easy for Sabhyta Sabharwal, as the youngest of three children, to stay in the shadows of her older siblings. Her brother Samir and sister Simran graduated from Chatham High School in 2008 and 2010, respectively, and she says teachers still stop her in the hallways to ask after them. Sabhtya, though, has accomplished one thing which her siblings have not. In May, Principal Darren Groh told her that she was the salutatorian for the class of 2011. "When I got called down [to the office], I was actually in math," she said, "and thought it was a parking issue." Because of the parking shortage at Chatham High, Sabhyta said, students often parked in the wrong spot or anywhere they can find a space. The administration monitors …

Hurt, the valedictorian for the Chatham High class of 2011, will attend Amherst College in the fall.
Kathleen "Katie" Hurt is guarding her valedictorian speech very closely. "I want it to be special," she said. "I want it to be a surprise." Though she did show part of her draft to at least one friend – the class salutatorian, Sabhyta Sabharwal – Katie said she does not want elements of the speech to get out before the graduation ceremony Friday. Hurt said she was surprised when Chatham High School Principal Darren Groh told her that she was the valedictorian for the class of 2011. The school does not release class rankings, so "it's not like everyone's fighting to be at that No. 1 spot," Hurt said. "People talk about their GPAs, but no one really knew, so it was a nice surprise." Making a Decision Hurt fits most people's idea of a …

Limos and lace and full length gowns invade the Short Hills Hilton
It was a beautiful warm evening at the Short Hills Hilton when cars, buses and limousines arrived with young men and women filled with the anticipation for their senior prom. They were dressed "to the nines" in all the colors of the rainbow, adorned with corsages and wearing smiles from ear to ear.
