Before the Pomp and Circumstance, those backstage moments with graduates are like that cumulative, final high five among friends — the smiles, the tears, the jokes, the barbs … up to that walk to the diploma and the goodbye to high school.

That’s how it was on Friday evening when the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Class of 2017 prepared to graduate at Monmouth University.

There were many milestone moments.

Here’s what we saw … Congratulations to the RFH Class of 2017! (Don’t forget to click to enlarge!)
