Speeches by Principal Sandra Intrieri, Superintendent Dr. Frances Wills and Board President Jeanine Rufo were complimented by five student speakers. Common themes included a supportive community, new beginnings and the promise that, "there's no place like home."

Words of advice from Valedictorian Jadyn Marshall encouraged her classmates to "give the world what you are capable of giving" and "make things happen." 

Salutatorian Stephanie Wagner said, "There are seniors sitting before us with books published, movies made, those that signed for Division I sports teams, those that have worked their way up the ranks at their job and so many more accomplishments of which many of us probably are not aware. We all have this bursting talent inside of us. Let those talents define who you are."
