[Music] Parents, relatives, and friends, the senior class would like to have a ceremony that we will be proud of for years to come. During the graduation ceremony, we
003will be reading the names of your children as they march on the stage to receive recognition. The classes faced many challenges during the their high school career, and we would like to celebrate them from overcoming these challenges accordingly. We encourage you to celebrate the success of your child by cheering and clapping after their name is called. However, we do have one request. Once your child has exited the stage, please stop cheering so that when the next student in line will hear his or her name called and their family can celebrate them. Please help to support the senior class in a dignified manner at this very important time in our lives. At this time, please welcome to the podium our principal, Mr. Johnny Crestle. [Applause] Good afternoon. I think we can do a little better than
004that. I said good afternoon and welcome to the 2025 George Washington High School commencement ceremony. Please be mindful as we begin our ceremony that we remember the etiquette that Mr. Adam Mateo just went over. We want you to celebrate and enjoy this moment with your student and your child. But please, once your student has crossed the stage, hold your applause so that way the next family may also enjoy their students and child's name being called. As we begin our ceremony, I would like to recognize a few individuals. First, I would like to recognize and thank the Danville public school board members. Please stand as I call your name. School board chair, Mr. Taquan [Applause] Graves, school board vice chair, Miss Kesha A, Mr. Dr. Terrell [Applause] Payne, Miss Casey Cunningham, Dr. Keith Silverman, Miss Kesha
005Walker, and Dr. Corey [Applause] Williams. Next, I would like to recognize the superintendent of Damville Public Schools, Dr. Angela [Applause] Haristen. Thank you, Dr. Harrison, and school board members for your continued support of students, faculty, and the George Washington High School community. At this time, I would like to recognize any elected Danville City officials with us this afternoon. If you're an elected official, please stand so that we may recognize you. [Applause] If you're a part of the Damble public school system, central office staff, or an administrator in the district, please stand. Thank you for joining us this [Applause] afternoon. Finally, I cannot move forward in this ceremony without recognizing a few individuals whose contributions have been instrumental in making this school year successful. Would Mr. Leathers, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Spencer, Miss Strader, Mr. Woodson, Miss
006Hope Adams, and Mr. Stone, please [Applause] stand. Your dedication to our school, staff, students, and community have been nothing short of extraordinary. Your tireless work behind the scenes, and your visible leadership have been vital to the success of our school. Many of our graduates sitting here today have benefited from your guidance and mentorship. Thank you guys. And thank you guys. A commencement ceremony is always such a special occasion. The culmination of years of hard work. We were talking it's about 13 years. The co the realization of dreams and the acknowledgement of achievements. Seeing everyone here today is a testament not only to the accomplishments of our graduates but also the love and support that they have received along the way. Graduates, you did not make it this far on your own. There have been people
007all along the way who have been serving as your biggest supporters. I'm going to recognize a few groups of those supporters today. First, your teachers. Your teachers have been more than instructors. They have been your mentors, your cheerleaders, and sometimes even your counselors. At this time, would the George Washington High School faculty and staff please stand and be [Applause] recognized, parents, and guardians? I have a 2-year-old daughter and I can only imagine what you're feeling today. The emotions that you are feeling, pride, joy, perhaps a little disbelief like how fast time has flown by. Today it's about your child. Yes. But it is also about you. Your love, your sacrifices, your guidance, and your patience have made this moment possible. And some of y'all have patience that goes a mile long. Would all parents and
008guardians please stand so we can honor you. [Applause] Now that I've got those other unimportant groups out of the way, graduates, today is your day. [Applause] A day to celebrate the journey that you've completed and doors that you've opened through your determination, your hard work. Take this moment of pride. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. This group will always hold a very special place in my heart. You're my first class as a principal. You've not only left your mark on the school, but you've left your mark on me. And I mean that in the best possible way. Watching your class lead, laugh, and learn this year has been one of the greatest joys of my career. You have made it through four years full of transitions and challenges from adjusting to a
009new seven period schedule to navigating construction turns that see construction areas that seem to pop up around every area. And yes, you've also survived me constantly reminding you to take your hat off and go to class. But remember it all. But through it all, you've grown. You've shown resilience, flexibility, and heart. Just remember, every chapter in your life, whether you thrive through it or you survived it, shapes you. Each experience brings lessons and growth that will make you stronger, more adaptable, and more prepared whether for whatever comes next. As you look ahead, I want you I want to leave you with four guiding principles or values that you may have heard before that I hope will carry you through the next chapter in your life. Strive for excellence. Excellence does not mean being perfect. It
010means showing up every day and having the drive to do your best to hard work. Stay curious. Push beyond what is comfortable. Whether you're heading to the college, a career, the military, or any other path, excellence is what will help you stand out. Set high standards for yourself, not for anyone else's approval, but because it's what you are capable of. overcome challenges and obstacles. Life will throw unexpected things your way, but as you have already proven through four years at GW with construction, changing of schedules, you are able to be resilient and handle any challenges and obstacles that come your way. You have faced adversity and you have came out stronger. Remember to lean into that and that will take you through. Achieve ambitious goals. Don't be afraid to dream big. And when you take
011action, those goals become a reality. Set the goals that scare you a little and excite you a lot. Work toward them step by step and celebrate every milestone along the way. Ambition is the spark, but discipline is what's going to keep you moving forward. And then rise above expectations. You will encounter many people in your life that will try to set limits and define you. Prove to yourself more than anyone else that what you're capable of. Be bold, be courageous, and rise above. Make your life a reflection of your passion, your integrity, and your vision. It has been a great experience getting to know each of you. I am excited to hear about all of your future adventures. And please know that I'll be right here cheering you on. Congratulations, and continue to soar, class
012of 2025. [Applause] Please welcome Mr. Taquan Graves, school board chair, to the podium. [Applause] Good afternoon. Y'all can do better than that. Good afternoon. About 2 o'clock, a celebration started. So, I need you all to do me a favor. Let's cheer on and congratulate these graduates of 2025. [Music] If you have a student, a cousin, a friend, a neighbor that's graduating today, I believe you should get out of your seats and congratulate these 25 graduates. [Music] Now [Applause] you got it out your system. I know you're hot. So where them fans at? Listen. There we [Applause] go. I got one, too. What a day. What a moment. What a class, class of 2025. You made it. Let me begin by saying what an absolute honor it is to stand before you today on behalf of
013the Danville public school board. As your chairman, but more importantly, as a proud member of this Danville community, I am beyond thrilled to welcome you to the George Washington High School commencement ceremony. Now, I have with me which they've already been recognized, but I couldn't go further without recognizing our Danville public school board. If you would stand to be recognized again, let's give them a round of applause. I would also like to recognize our city council members, our mayor. If you guys would stand up, we couldn't do this without you. Let's recognize [Applause] them this afternoon. We're not just celebrating a milestone. We're celebrating a movement. A movement of young minds who refused to back down. Who showed up, stood tall, and kept walking forward through challenges, through change, through late nights, early mornings. You
014did it. You laced up, locked in, and kept pressing. And if you listen closely, I think you can hear the new trade little line dance echoing through this gymnasium. I got my boots on the ground because you do. You've planted your feet and purpose. You've marched with determination. You face storms and still you've stood strong. So again, where them fans at. There we go. And now you stand on the edge of your next journey. Boots on the ground, heads held high, hearts wide open. But before we send you Soaring, let's pause and show deep gratitude to the parents, grandparents, guardians, aunties, uncles, cousins, neighbors, to every single one of you who stood behind these graduates when they needed a hand, a ride, a late night pep talk, or just someone to believe in them when
015they doubted themselves. Thank you. Because behind every student who makes it, there is a village that lifts them. You are the silent strength behind these young champions. You are the roots that made their growth possible. So, let's give just give a round of applause to the parents and [Applause] [Music] guardians. To our incredible educators, you're the heartbeats of the school. You poured knowledge, love, patience, and power into these students lives. You didn't just teach them how to pass a test, you taught them how to rise. Let's give our educators another round of [Applause] applause. And graduates, graduates, 2025 graduates, all 237 graduates. Yes, this afternoon is just a proof that every ounce of effort, every page read, every step taken was worth it. You're walking across this stage not just with the diploma, but with
016momentum, with power, and with pride. So, as you go into the world, whether it's college, military, a career, or a dream you haven't even named yet, remember this. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just need to keep those boots on the ground and take the next bold step. And when fear tries to stop you, tell it, "I've already come too far to turn around now." The road ahead will not be easy. You may face challenges that seem too heavy to carry. Setbacks that threaten to steal your joy and moments where giving up feels like the only option. But I'm here to remind you, you're stronger than your struggles, and you are more powerful than your fears. Success is not where you start. It's about refusing to stop. When the doors feel
017closed, knock louder. When the path seems blocked, build a new one. And when doubt creeps in, lean on the people that believe in you most. So, to our 237 graduates, let's give them another round of applause. Thank you. Please welcome Mr. Brady Woodson, George Washington High School 2025 saludiatoran, as he presents his speech entitled The Faces of Tomorrow. [Music] [Applause] Good afternoon. First, I would like to thank you all for coming to support the George Washington High School graduating class of 2025. Today is an important day for everyone in the room, but most notably is an important day for my fellow graduates and myself. Today truly marks the beginning of the rest of our lives. We spent most of our time in high school trying to figure out how to do things. How do I
018write an essay? How do I use this equation? How do I fit in? A lot of our first questions as we sat down in class were, how do I do this? Now, at the end of this road, we are out of our desk staring at the world and asking ourselves, what do I do? The world is wide open. There are seemingly an infinite number of roads to go down. To many of us, it is exciting. To most of us, it is absolutely terrifying. Whether or not you're terrified like me or eagle to eager to start your next chapter, as I look at you all this afternoon, I know that everything's going to be all right. You see, it is important for us right now to recognize that every person you will ever meet has a
019life as complex and as important as your own. The class of 2025 is beyond a shadow of a doubt. No exception to this. Each and every one of us has a story to tell, an impactful life to live, and a future to build. We have love to spread, songs to sing, movies to direct, poems to write, and masterpieces to paint. We have the key to build the most beautiful future that we could possibly imagine. A future where the skyline is filled with dreams, where the streets carry love, and where anything is possible is anything but out of reach. The key to this future lives within the hearts and souls of every one of us. We all just have to dig a little deeper. As the great musician David Bowie once said, "If you feel safe
020in the area you're working in, you're not working in the right area. Always go a little farther into the water than you're capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you feel And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting. The most inspiring, influential, important, and world changing things are done by people who are not afraid to take risks. Digging a little deeper into what is possible, stretching the most rock solid boundaries, and having the courage to do things differently is the way that we move forward as the class of 2025, as a school, as a city, as a state, as a nation, and as humans. I urge that we have the strength to
021move a little further into the deep end. I urge that my peers and I take the hands that we are dealt and find our way to the stars. I urge that in the name of love, we push the boundaries and find out what is possible. As we begin the rest of our lives, I would like to leave the class of 2025 with a final message. At the crossroads that we stand at right now, not much is certain. Many of us have no clue where life will take us, and it is a very scary feeling. However, through the strength in our hearts and the abundance of our love, we can take ourselves anywhere. Every one of us has a life that is powerful, important, and impactful. The will and ability to create and become anything that
022we desire lives within all of us. As a people, we can shape the future into something more beautiful than anyone could ever imagine. We just need to find the bravery and power within ourselves to stretch the boundaries, limitations, and expectations that have been set before us. Live in the spaces where your feet do not quite touch the ground. Class of 2025, your faces are the faces of tomorrow. And I believe in the fire in your hearts, the passion in your souls, and the power in your minds. The future is in our hands. To quote another great musician, Nas, the world is yours. Thank you. Grady Woodson, we are extremely proud of you and your accomplishments during your time here at George Washington High School. I would like to present you with a small token of
023our appreciation. [Applause] I don't know if you know how competitive the George Washington High School students are, but this year we had to have a tie for validictorian this year. So, you get to have we get to have the pleasure of having two validictorians. Please welcome Miss Skylar Payne, 2025 co-validictorian for George Washington High School as she presents her speech entitled The Value of Living in the Present Moment. [Applause] Good afternoon, families, teachers, friends, and to my fellow graduates, the class of 2025. First, thank you. Thank you to the parents and guardians who've stood by us, who've believed in us even when we couldn't see it ourselves. Thank you to our teachers, not just for teaching us subjects, but for teaching us how to think, how to care, and how to show up. Thank you
024to the friends who've become family, who've laughed with us, cried with us, and helped carry each other through it all. Today is a celebration of hard work, of growth, of everything we've pushed through to get to this moment. And standing here now, I don't think I've ever been more excited to see Mr. Crestle as I was today. When I realized he would be handing my diploma so I could get out of here. For years, we've dreamed about this day. We counted down to it, talked about it like it was the finish line. But I've realized this isn't the end. It's a milestone. A comma, not a period, in the sentence of our lives. I can't help but think of how fast it all went by. It feels like we blinked and somehow four years turned
025into one final moment together. And in this moment, we're standing at the edge of what was and what's to come. Looking back, I can still remember the first day jitters, making unexpected friendships, late night studying or not studying. But it's also tempting to look forward, thinking about college, future careers, and the endless question, what's next. If we're always chasing what's ahead or holding on to what's behind, we miss where life actually happens, the right now. Doesn't it always feel like we're always waiting for the next big thing? The weekend, waiting for summer, senior year, waiting for prom, and finally graduation. But now that we're here, I think we all wish we could go back just for a second to the simpler times. That's what I want to hold on to today. The power of the
026present moment. It's easy to live in the past or worry about the future, but we don't get to relive yesterday. And tomorrow isn't promised. The present is the only place that we live. It's where our memories are made. It's where our choices shape us. Unfortunately, we don't get to rewind time and we can't fast forward to the future. But we do get this moment and that's what makes it powerful. Of course, the past taught us lessons. And yes, the future deserves our dreams, but neither deserves all of our attention. the pressure of what's next, the weight of what's behind us. It can pull us away from appreciating what we have, who we're with, and who we're becoming today. I've come to learn that joy lives in the present moment. It's in laughing uncontrollably during lunch.
027It's in late night talks with friends who just get you. It's in the quiet confidence of learning something new. Though seemingly ordinary moments, they were extraordinary all alone. We just had to slow down enough to notice that we live in a distracted world, one that's always pushing us to scroll past the present or chase the next big thing. Being fully present is a rare act. Even though it deepens our relationships, fuels creativity, reminds us that just being here is enough. And yes, right now the future feels uncertain. Some of us have plans, some of us are still figuring it out. And that's okay. Uncertainty isn't a weakness. It's where possibility lives. What we do right now, the conversations we have, the chances we take, and the kindness we show creates a ripple effect. The present
028builds our future piece by piece, moment by moment. So, here's my challenge to you, my fellow classmates. Live your life with your eyes open and your heart open. Don't rush through the moments that will one day mean everything. Say thank you, be kind, and take risks. Because this moment, this celebration, this ending that's also a beginning is one we'll never get again. To my teachers and mentors, thank you for walking with me through the chaos and the quiet. To my family, especially my parents, thank you for pushing me a little too hard, both academically and outside of school. To my friends, thank you for the constant support whenever I felt like something was the end of the world. It turns out it wasn't. And to my fellow graduates, we made it. Not just to this
029day, but to this very moment. And that's worth everything. So may we leave here not just ready for success, but also to live fully in the journey. To live with intention, to find meaning in the little things, and to never forget the power of the present moment. As we move forward, some to college, some to work, and some still insure, I hope we don't rush through it all. I hope we slow down, take time to laugh, appreciate the good and bad times as they're all working together to make us who we will be. Our schoolaged years challenged us. First navigating COVID and then ongoing construction. Our entire four years of high school, but even with the challenges, we've grown in ways we couldn't have imagined. We are not just the class of 2025. We're the
030class who knows how to adapt to new environments, how to overcome, and how to make the most of every moment. I believe more than anything that we're ready for everything that life may throw at us. So, here's to the memories we've made, to the people we've become, and to every little moment that made it all worthwhile. Congratulations, class of 2025. We did it. I know we're all excited for what our futures may hold, but don't forget to also soak in this moment right here, right now. [Applause] Skyler, thank you. You have had a lot of accomplishments and we were proud of you here at George Washington High School. I would like to present you a small token of our [Applause] appreciation. Please welcome Mr. Charlie Hungren Hungerland, George Washington High School 2025 co-validictorian as he
031presents his speech entitled, "We've come so far and have far to [Applause] go. Good afternoon, class of 2025. I first want to say thank you to all the teachers, coaches, and adults who helped me become who I am today. Thank you to DPS for educating us for the past 13 years. I'm standing here today as a representative of all the hard work that everyone has accomplished to be here. We've come so far, but we have far to go. As we move to the next stages in our lives, I ask that those adults who supported and trusted us to continue to trust and support us. We all of us graduates are the generation that will become the leaders of society. We have made it this far with your help. Now help us help you. We have
032all made it here and have proven to you that we can do great things. We have felt the support from you as you have taught us and guided us. Now we are given the chance to take this power into the real world. So trust us with the same passion as you taught us. We are ready to lead, ready to work, and ready to make this world a better place. We've come so far, but we have far to go. Every generation is different in so many ways and as we join society as adults, remember that change is always hard to overcome but necessary for growth. Let the support that you have given us through our lives continue as we become leaders in in our communities. We have proven to you that we are ready to lead
033and serve. So elect us into positions of power so we can put into practice the things that you have taught us. Not everyone has to become a politician, but right now we have congressmen in their 80s while the ama the average age for the American labor force is only 41 years old. GW has so many great students. Let's make our cheerleaders our leaders, our music students our artists, and our learners our teachers. We want this world to be a better place and every student in this room can make it better. You've given us passion for the environment, for social justice, for technology and even for outer space. Now elect us, hire us, and trust us. We've come so far, but we have far to go. Lastly, fellow graduates, as we move on to our next
034stages in our lives, remember we have less restriction on the choices we make. Growing up, the support from teachers and parents has directed us to where we are now. And I'm grateful for that. But as we graduate high school, we no longer have the path set out in front of us. We have the freedom to choose what we want to do. The choice to do great things, the choice to continue our formal education, the choice to join the workforce, and the choice to enroll in the military. If life is like a box of chocolates, it's not because you don't know what you're going to get, because usually there's a guide on most boxes that tell you the flavor, but because you have the choice to pick what's next. No one is taking attendance, but people
035will notice if we don't show up. So, show up for whatever choice you make. And remember, changing your mind is also a choice. We've come so far, but we have so so far to go. I can't wait for the opportunity. Thank you, Charlie. We are also very proud of you and we want to give you an a small token of our appreciation for all the accomplishments you've had at George Washington High School. [Applause] At this time, I'd like to welcome to the podium Dr. Angela Haristen. Thank you, Mr. Prele. Thank you so much for your leadership throughout this year. It's been amazing. Absolutely amazing. And I want to say congratulations to our class of 25. What a moment this is for you, your families, your teachers, and everyone who has supported you along the way.
036Today, not not marks not just one chapter, but the beginning of many new and exciting ones. The class of 2025 is truly a unique group. You entered high school at a time when the world was anything but normal. through the uncertainty of a pandemic, remote learning, Chromebooks, all of those things that presented you a challenge periodically. You showed something incredible. You showed resilience. You learned to adapt. You grew stronger. You showed us what it means to keep moving forward even when the path is unclear. This afternoon, I want to take time to shine light on two groups uh that are here. And I want to start with the early college students. If you are an early college student who graduated with your associates, would you please stand? Thank you. Thank you. [Applause] These students graduated
037more than three weeks ago with an associates degree. So they today will earn their high school diploma. What an amazing talented group of students. What an amazing group of students. I also want to shine a light on our co- validictorians and our saludiatoran for their academic achievements. They have led the way by example and you have heard so many of the words that I want to use to reflect on their character in their speeches today. Each of them is different, but what you'll realize is that each of them always always has a positive outlook on life. You've heard that today from them. They bring light to people around them. They bring light to the community. They shine a light on others. So, thank you to each of the three of them for always maintaining that
038positive outlook. They love a challenge. Uh we recently had uh one of our co- valadictorians earned um he was the district tennis champion I believe right just yesterday. Yes. Yes. Yes. Uh and so they love a challenge. They seek a challenge. This is not one and done for them. They seek out challenges beyond the classroom. a relentless work ethic. You heard each of them speak about their work ethic and their efforts and their desires to have their classmates be successful through a relentless work ethic. Perseverance. Even when things get tough, they get tough. Kindness and integrity. Kindness and integrity describe each of our members here, our co-validictorians and our saludiatoran. They are kind and they're individuals of integrity. The three students represent the heart of the class of 2025. They are strong, they're focused, they're
039determined, and they're kind. And I want to take time today to congratulate them on their accomplishments. And if you'll join me, let's give them another hand. Brady Woodson, if you'll come forward. Our saludiatoran. So Brady received a a medallion, a saludiatoran medallion from JW High School, and this is a token of our appreciation from the Danville public schools to you for your work and representing us so very well over these years as you have progressed. Skyler Payne. Skyler is a co-validictorian for George Washington High School and we want to thank you for all of your determination and hard work representing the Dam Public Schools and the students here today. and Charles Hungerland. You will not hear Mr. Hungler's name without challenge behind it. He always always is willing to face the next challenge and represents
040the district so very well as a high achieving student and our co-validictorian. Thank you so much.
