Over 600 Clarkston High School students stepped onto the stage at DTE Music Energy Theatre as students and walked off the stage as graduates, June 1.
“Thirteen years ago we began a dream,” said McKenzie Suarez during her speech to her classmates. She added the Class of 2015 was a Wolfpack of over 600 strong and left the Clarkston community with their own legacy.
“Today we come together to wish our classmates the best. I ask – what is your legacy? Will you be a hero? I stand here to say you will. Together we made our dreams come true.”
Principal Gary Kaul added his own thoughts about the class.
“I will go on record as this is one of the best classes,” he said to the audience of over 1,000. “You have accomplished so much and led the way for the younger classes. You left a legacy.”
Jonathan Webster, a mathematics and science teacher at the high school chosen by the seniors, added his comical twist to the ceremony.
“I’m excited because you are going to join me on the journey of adulthood,” he smiled. “It sucks. You pay bills.”
His tips for grads included have a vision of who you want to be and how you are going to get there. ~WAR
