A student petition has successfully landed Former U.S. Senator Scott Brown to give the commencement address at Marlborough High School on June 2.
“I am truly honored to have been chosen by the Marlborough High School Senior Class as their Commencement Speaker. I look forward to the opportunity to meet the students and their families to help them celebrate this special day,” said Senator Brown in a release from the mayor's office sent out Tuesday.
Students in the Class of 2013, led by Senior Alex Pelletier, led the charge to secure Brown as the speaker.
“Alex is an impressive young man and I was thrilled to support his and his fellow classmates efforts. Everyone remembers their high school graduation and I’m heartened to see the Class of 2013 play such an integral role in how they close out their Marlborough High School career,” said Mayor Arthur Vigeant.
Pelletier helped collect 143 signatures from his fellow classmates to present to both Marlborough High School Principal Craig Hardimon and Mayor Arthur Vigeant as a demonstration of the students’ interest in having Brown deliver the commencement address.
The mayor said he was more than happy to bolster the student’s petition and worked with both Principal Hardimon as well as Alex Pelletier to draft a joint letter formally extending the invitation.
“High school graduation is always a highly anticipated occasion and it’s been a pleasure working with the Senior Class to make this milestone unforgettable,” said MHS Principal Craig Hardimon in the release.
The Class of 2013 will graduate 314 students this year.

Excellent work Alex. It's great to see that young men, your age, are interested in hearing a somewhat conservative spin on things. I can't wait to attend. Again. Good work! ~Coach Perry

Regardless of what side of the isle you chose, having an ex senator as high school graduation speaker is an honor!
One may not agree with his politics, but our seniors have much to learn from a man person such as Scott Brown.

Oh, you mean Lying, Cheating, Fraud, Obama-is-my-Messiah-so-I'm-a-yes-girl-and-will-vote-for-whatever-he-tells-me-to Warren? THAT (and I use the word lightly) "senator?" You're a brainwashed Socialist idiot.

Who would want that mouth-breather speaking anywhere? She's not capable of an independent though. She's a lying, plagerizing fraud to boot!

Only to become governor of this state and take it back from the low life idiots like yourself who think the world owes them a living. I congratulate MHS for seeing through the BS of the likes of you and getting someone like him to speak at commencement instead of a freaking LIAR AND FRAUD like Fauxcahontas Warren who evicted homeowners and flipped their houses for a profit. She 's for the people....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....and I have a bridge to sell you. Wake up!

Whatever. If my kid was graduating I would skip the ceremony and have the diploma mailed.

This MHS 2013 mom is proud that my daughter interned for three months with Senator Brown's Victory 2012 and appeared with him in Marlborough's Labor Day Parade among other campaign stops.

My daughter graduated MHS last year and with the whole Dr Pope issue, kids were going to skip the ceremony if he showed up. Kudos to this years class for pursuing and acquiring a speaker they want to hear from. Regardless of your political party, Scott Brown is a very dynamic speaker that I'm sure will deliver a great commencement address.

BTW, I heard this years class has been accepted to some very impressive colleges and universities. Have heard one is headed to MIT (and no he is not a STEM program student), Notre Dame, and I think there's a Harvard (not positive). Lots of Ivory league applications too. Good luck to them all. To the Patch: for a future article I would love to see a published list of colleges the seniors will be attending.

Brown is a loser who should retire from politics and speaking engagements. Anyone who believes otherwise is equally lost.
