Greg Marino/ Valedictorian James Townley reflects on his last four years at Oakcrest High School.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP – Historically, high school seniors look forward to their graduation day with eager anticipation. Not very many get to experience that feeling twice. Oakcrest High School seniors finally received their diplomas Monday night after the original program on Friday was postponed by a major storm just as they had marched onto the football field in their processional.
