Over the years, Rosie’s Pizza has grown, adding booths, menu items and even groceries and alcohol. Despite owning a successful business, Rosie always thought about returning to school to get her high school diploma.

For the next two years, Rosie attended classes, did homework and studied for exams alongside her teenage classmates. At 58 years old, Rosie graduated from Braintree High School, the oldest person in Braintree High history to receive a diploma from the day school. That nagging feeling was finally gone after 40 years, “It’s a great accomplishment in my life. I’m very proud. I say to anyone who wants to get their high school diploma, it’s never too late.”
