George Washington H.S. class of 2016

NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- In Northeast Philadelphia Tuesday, seniors at George Washington High school took part in commencement exercises.

Family and friends gathered at the athletic field to watch the students get their diplomas, and we want to give a special shout out to graduate Jason Philips.

He is the son of Bryan Phillips, who is the supervisor of security here at 6ABC, and of course congrats to all the recent graduates out there.
