I had a wonderful experience attending this year’s graduation ceremony. Speakers seemed connected to the students and the school. The school used several shops to complete the tasks needed to make it a success … carpentry built the stage, graphic design did the program, horticulture had the campus looking pristine with the criminal justice students keeping all running smooth … national anthem song by a teacher ... and the class advisers kept every student engaged.

I have never enjoyed a graduation so much. We should all be proud of the school, the staff and the students.
