May 24 was an evening of inaugural celebrations in Key West, where the class of 2024 proudly marched in two lines of white and red gowns around the perimeter of the new Tommy Roberts Memorial Stadium. The ceremony was also the first that Rebecca Palomino presided over as principal of Key West High School, having wrapped up her first year at the helm of her own alma mater.
Valedictorian Roan Milelli and salutatorian Parker Curry spoke earnestly to their friends, families, teachers, coaches and mentors, with Curry invoking the historic words of her great-grandmother, who was also the leader of her graduating class in Key West and is now in her 90s.
