Valedictorian Celebrates Class of 2013

Farmingdale's Nakul Gupta threw away his speech, then inspired his fellow graduates.

Nakul Gupta ticked off the list of accomplishments for Farmingdale High School's graduating senior Class of 2013. And they were many.

Add Gupta, the valedictorian, to the list. Not only did he put the Dalers in the national spotlight earlier this year as an Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist, but he wowed his classmates at Hofstra last week by ripping up his speech and winging it.

The Class of 2013 is 542 members strong. And fittingly Gupta is at the head of the class. Watch his valedictorian address.
