The John Carroll School sent off Principal Barker along with 211 students in the class of 2011.
On a cloudy day at Gerry Gray Memorial Stadium at the John Carroll School, class of 2011 valedictorian Susan Lubejko invoked sunny imagery in her address to her fellow graduates.

Fallston's Class of 2011 graduated at Bel Air High School on Friday.
One thing is for certain: Fallston's seniors are proud of their community. Alumnus Joe Woods, now a Harford County councilman, told the Class of 2011 Friday night not to lose that pride. If the four student speakers are an indication of how the rest of the class feels, the community is in good hands. In addition to Woods, county attorney Robert McCord, state Delegate Richard Impallaria and Board of Education member Thomas Evans spoke during the ceremony that was likely Joseph Schmitz' last as Fallston principal. Seniors Allison Kight, Alyssa Dugent, Kaleigh O'Neill and Matthew Hamilton addressed their peers at the ceremony. Music in the video was sung by the Fallston High School Choir.

Fallston High School's 32nd commencement was held Friday at Bel Air High School.
Cougar Nation did not lack community pride at Friday’s graduation. “If you become the first astronaut to step on Mars, remember that Fallston provided you with that one small step,” said Matthew Hamilton, one of the student speakers at Fallston High School’s 32nd commencement.

Alyssa Dugent likened the journey to that of the main character in Finding Nemo, advising her peers to “just keep swimming.” Kaleigh O’Neill said high school was more like following the directions of a GPS with a bit of uncertainty and countless recalculating. She said Fallston …

The principal was promoted to a Harford County Public Schools headquarters position last week.
When Joseph Schmitz was promoted from principal to Harford County executive director of High School Performance, the Fallston High School community had mixed emotions. Some sent Patch messages praising him, while others were sad to see him leave the school. Jennifer Darland, Class of 2009, shared photos of a T-shirt her class made for Schmitz two years ago. Here is her email: An SGA officer and senior at the time, Zack Crowley organized the t-shirt sale. Our senior class loved Mr. Schmitz's commitment and involvement with his students. He broke the typical stereotype of principal and became a role model for all students at FHS to become involved.
