WWII VETERAN RECEIVES HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AT GRADUATION
Beginning last month, thousands of Hillsborough County seniors were presented their high school diplomas. The graduation ceremonies were held at the Florida State Fairgrounds. One of the graduates who participated in the Hillsborough High School Graduation Ceremony was Mr. Joe Perricone, a member of the Hillsborough High School Class of 1943. Mr. Perricone was drafted into military service in the middle of his senior year and never walked across the stage to receive his diploma. On Saturday, May 25, 2019, Mr. Perricone, 95, received his high school diploma. Shown in the photograph at the historic occasion were from left to right: his grandson, Judge Thomas Palermo, Hillsborough County School Superintendent Jeff Eakins, Dr. Stacy Hahn, School Board member, Mr. Perricone, WWII Veteran and Hillsborough High School graduate, Ms. Dolores Perricone, daughter of the honoree, School Board Chairperson Tamara Shamburger, and Ms. Cindy Stuart, School Board member.
