FALLS VILLAGE — The 2025 graduation ceremony at Housatonic Valley Regional High School will be held on the front steps of the school, not in a tent on the lawn.
The Region One Board of Education approved the change at its regular monthly meeting Monday, Nov. 4.
The newly-renovated and refurbished auditorium will host the end of the year awards activities and serve as a backup location in case of rain.
The board also approved an allocation of up to $5,000 for the purchase of stage skirting, bunting, and a pole/rail system for the backdrop curtain, to be funded from the graduation budget line.
The board approved the hiring of Brittany Bertola as a counselor at the high school. Bertola has a BA in Psychology from Mount Saint Mary’s University, and both a MA in Elementary Education and a sixth year degree in school counseling from Southern Connecticut State University.
