Middletown High School South (MHSS) senior class presidents Eric Dominach and Mike Sebastiano may have graduated on Thursday, June 14 however until recently they only had pictures as proof.

A few days after graduation when the two went to go pick up their diplomas, they were denied. A previous Patch article on the matter reported that Dominach and Sebastino received their diplomas on Wednesday, June 20.
