CAMBRIDGE – Four members of Cambridge-South Dorchester High School’s Class of 2023 have demonstrated what resilience looks like, as they worked through the summer to gain the credits needed to earn their diplomas.

JaKyre James Harris, Jan Carlos Ortiz Melendez, Jannelis Judith Ortiz Melendez, and Troy Lee Wongus III received their high school diplomas Tuesday at the C-SD’s Summer Commencement Ceremony. The event was held at the Packing House in Cambridge after a power outage at C-SD.

That’s one goal down, and more to come, as these young people plan to continue moving ahead. Troy is determined to acquire his Commercial Driver’s License; Jan Carlos is looking to join the military; Jannelis would like to continue her education; and JaKyre, who has restaurant experience, is looking for a job.
