The ceremony took place on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 7: 00, at "Dr. Karakashian " Sport Hall of Hamazkayin M. and H. Arslanian Djemaran, in the presence of Prelate of the Armenian Diocese in Lebanon, Bishop Shahe Panossian, Armenia's Ambassador to Lebanon, Samvel Mkrtchyan, Hamazkayin Central Executive Board, Djemaran’s Board of Trustees, management, staff, parents, graduates and friends.
After the anthems of Lebanon and Armenia, the celebration began with presenting Djemaran’s history. First, the martyred intellectuals’ pictures were presented on the screen accompanied by the song «Ils sont tombés». The final grade students Hagop Tashdjian and Christ Proudian, reproducing Levon Shant’s and Nicole Aghpalian’s voices, presented the history of Djemaran’s foundation, which took place on March 3, 1930 for the sake of preserving the identity, culture and the language of the Armenian people, which had been subjected to exodus in the result of the Armenian Genocide.
"Armenian Djemaran was scientifically established as a family. In school life, the mutual relationships between the students and teachers are not formal, but outwardly or inwardly, psychologically they are friendly, simple and natural. This type of treatment is not understandable for some people, because it differs a bit from their idea, which they have about the school," says Levon Shant.
The pictures of Djemaran graduates of 1935 were displayed on the screen, after which the history of Djemaran, its prosperity were presented, starting from Djemaran’s official opening on May 27, 1950 up to our days. Djemaran’s principals Simon Vratsian and Hrach Dasnabedian with their commandments were also included in the presentation of Jemaran’s history.
