CLARKSBURG (May 10) — Clarksburg High School graduated 17 seniors during a commencement ceremony Friday evening in the gymnasium.
Following the processional to “Pomp and Circumstance,” Principal Lori Leasure welcomed all and congratulated the soon-to-be graduates.
Next, a video was shown featuring photos of each senior. The senior class song, “Memories are Made of” by Luke Combs was then played.
Class Historian Sydney Segraves delivered her speech, beginning with a quote from author John Green, “One day, you are 17 and planning for someday, and then, quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” She elaborated, “This time last year, I was dreaming about and planning for high school graduation. And just like that, the day is here. Classmates, this is our life.”
Segraves concluded, “Tonight marks the beginning of our ‘someday.’ It’s scary because we do not know what the future might hold. Some of us will go to work and some of us will go to school. We will all have to find our place in this life.”
Next, salutatorian Riley Carden spoke, opening with a quote from Rocky Balboa, “It ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”
