With more than 100 ties donated, a group of Port Chester High School students learned a valuable skill – how to tie a tie – at their school on June 5-6. Organized by the high school guidance department, the two-day Knots for Knowledge event was designed to help graduating seniors feel confident and dress for success.

“Our school community’s contributions have undoubtedly left a lasting impression on our students, instilling confidence and knowledge,” Department Chairperson Vanessa Clay-Williams said. “Their support and generosity have made a significant impact in the lives of our young men and women.”

Special thanks to the dedicated volunteers who generously shared their time and expertise in teaching the students the art of tying a tie and showcasing various styles.

“Their commitment to empowering our students with essential knowledge is truly commendable,” Clay-Williams said.

Principal Luke Sotherden said he cherishes watching these moments with students.

“It is such a joy to be a positive male role model for students and teach the minutiae of professionalism when the opportunities present themselves,” Sotherden said.
