Welcome family, friends, and staff. It's great to have you all here as we come to an end of our high school experience.
First let me start off by thanking my mother. I’d like that thank you for helping me and pushing me to my greatest potential everyday, because I do not think any one else could have lasted these past 18 years with me.

My class is one mouthy, headstrong group of people. Everyday we’ve walked these halls together, but that doesn’t mean that every day we all got along. We all know the cliche “we’ve become like a family”, but if being a family means we’ve all had days when we wanted to strangle each other, than yes, we have become one close-dysfunctional family.

So class of 2016, “Have some fire. Be Unstoppable. Be a force of Nature.”
