007at the beginning of the year we asked you to do three things first we asked you to give your all in everything you did and you definitely did that on the field your athletic teams won a state championship and girls swim and dive as well as multiple lead championships in football volleyball girls soccer girls track and field and more past athletics your commitment to excellence and all facets of life has led to incredible accomplishments you were accepted into trade and vocational schools you received appointments to military academies and offers of admissions to multiple Ivy League schools and other prestigious universities and as a class you earned a total of over 1 million dollars in scholarships second we ask you to be bold and try something new from new sports in clubs to new classes many
008of you tried something new took risk and ended up finding new passions and new families and finally we asked each of you to be there for one another we believe it is within this pursue that rampart distinguishes itself from other high schools simply put rampart including the students parents faculty and more is a community your support for one another has led to setting a new national record for the amount a raise in a year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as well as raising a total of over three hundred thousand dollars for cancer research apart from our accomplishments we've learned a lot along the way the first and most important lesson we learned was to not smuggle chickens into school but if you do decide to go rogue old McDonald just don't put the chicken
009in your backpack it will not go well secondly we've learned that grilled cheese tastes better in a church we don't know if this is because the food is blessed but lunches on Thursdays will not be the same without grilled cheesus we've learned a lot about people rampart high school taught us that surrounding yourself with great people only makes you better fortunately a rampart that's not hard to do the faculty is comprised of inspiring teachers and staff whose dedication to their students is unparalleled the senior class is full of insanely talented individuals that strive for greatness from arts to athletics from volunteering to academics our class does it all we've had so many memories at rampart that have given us pure joy experiences where when we think back only make us smile whether it's bonding with
010teammates through torturous conditioning feeling an overwhelming sense of community at bald for Buck's singing and dancing on stage with people that feel like family or just being plain goofy with friends I hope that all of you would have memories like this although our time at rampart has ended and a lot of us may have mixed emotions I hope that even though the final buzzer is sounding the curtains are closing the last hugs are being given and we won't get to see our administrators rap Ice Ice Baby anymore the people at rampart have given us a home and the stories that we remember and the experiences that we've shared will live on when we come back for a union even though the school walls will feel smaller and the people may be taller the memories will
011never change to friends and family thank you for believing in us unconditionally and dealing with our ID our attitude mom dad I love you I love you too mom and dad too teachers and mentors thank you for guiding us and putting up with our procrastination and to our fellow classmates thank you for the memories we never really knew that a school could actually teach you so much going forward we ask you only three things give your all and everything you do take risks to find your passions and be there for one another from now on wherever you go and in whatever you do you take rampart with you Thank You Brandon Thank You Ethan welcome to the 37th annual commencement exercise of rampart High School please let me begin tonight by thanking the Air Force

Karen Reynolds vice president of the Board of Education in rampart High School Liaison mr. thomas LaValley Board of Education director mr. Glenn Stream Board of Education director mr. Doug Lundberg Board of Education treasurer [Applause] Colonel Troy
013Harding United States Air Force Academy liaisons to the Board of Education dr. Marc actual Superintendent of Academy School District 20 he called three snow days in the road this year come on mr. Tom Gregory deputy superintendent and chief financial officer dr. Jim Smith assistant superintendent for administrative services and I would just like to take pause and actually thank dr. hatch all for his service and wish him the best in his retirement this year thank you dr. hatch Oh your rampart administrative team seated here behind me miss Tracy Corman assistant principal mr. Kyle Chamberlain assistant principal MS Deirdre mastica assistant principal absent from the stage this evening as mr. Andy parks is over at the d20 stadium helping prepare for our soccer game everything changes but change itself and everything flows and nothing remains the same
014you cannot step twice into the same river for other waters and yet other things go flowing on ever herakleides said that he's a famous Greek guy parents and guardians I have no doubt that you can remember your child's first day of elementary middle and high school if you were to close your eyes right now you can remember different moments of their youth you could engage with them at different stages at different places on a road of memories that make your heart and rich soul no doubt being a parent is an exhausting emotional exercise but here you are tonight having realized the change from kindergarten parent to parent of a ramp our graduate I had one of those years where big change seemed to happen on the regular it got to the point where each morning
015I wondered what the day would take me what surprise was lurking around the corner waiting to pounce it all started last summer and instead of taking up skydiving motorcycle riding parkour paragliding or any other Bear Grylls type activity I chose the starpower weightlifting as my midlifecrisis activity it was good for a little bit and reminded me of my 20-something rugby's play herself I made the trip to lifetime with dedicated frequency and quickly incorporated squats leg press power claims and deadlifts into my workout now remember this was my midlife crisis so I had to sprinkle in some stupidity at some point and so one day at the gym I was feeling particularly cocky and felt like it was time to see what this 45 year old body had left in it after slapping on a couple
016of extra plates beyond what the reasonable me knew would be a sane manageable weight I had that self motivation conversation with myself just about when you're ready to do something stupid you know that you got this man be strong like bull that person over there just did it you did twice this weight in 94 you get the picture right so I lifted that weight felt a slight strain heard a weird popping noise felt some mild discomfort followed by real pain and yadda-yadda next thing I know my wife's driving means the surgeon who would be performing my double hernia surgery so as fate would have it I soon found out that my surgeon was also a rampart parent and I suddenly began invoking the protections of various patron saints that had learned about in my youth
017that this was not a parent I had in any way upset surgery went fine but the fact remained that physically I was a long ways away from my 20-something rugby days shortly before my surgery and my son also decided for the second time that college was not his thing and he decided to list in the US Navy yeah go Navy in the Air Force facility sorry sorry it was a struggle for me to get my head around it and I talked to various staff members who had been in in military service trying to get my head around what it meant for him me our family see my son is not just my son he's also my best friend fishing partner he's a gender balancer in a household with strong women and he's just damn fun
018to be around I feared the change that would come when I could not see or talk to him every day the first thing I learned about military is that they don't commit to hard and fast dates or times there's lots of waiting around and they are strong believers in very short notices also the bootcamp video as we watch together we're a lot of shouting and push-ups that seem to be the primary instructional and motivational methods used to communicate with new recruits up until this point the only adults who had yelled at my son were his mom his sister miss Brubaker miss Bryant mrs. McMaster and me in the weeks before his departure as I tried to give him as much advice as possible until finally given in to the fact that the world he was
019entering was beyond my reach of control an acceptance of a new reality would be best moving forward he finally made it to boot camp in December and in the world the words thank you for your service would begin to take on new meaning for me so if having a rampart parent literally cut me open and then dropping my son off at MEPs in Denver to start military service was not life-changing enough my daughter decided to find her first real high school boyfriend so so when I say real boyfriend I'm talking about the kind that drives a sporty little Audi plays varsity football takes your daughter skiing and it's just months away from starting college my position as uber driver for movie pickups and Dutch runs had been eliminated part of me longed for both of
020my kids to be small again relying upon and protected by me in a way that I knew no longer possible a part of me was suffering from the good old day type mentality so faced with this uncomfortable change that I could not control I decided I needed to start making some decisions to wrangle control back into my life I started by adopting a black lab puppy named Steve Steve my early mornings were now spent feeding potty training playing fetch in mandatory cuddle sessions before I headed off to work he pretty much became my therapy dog for a while I decided to stop shaving and made this beard a new midlife activity that I felt was safe enough and a few months after surgery I returned to the gym having let go of my Olympic weightlifting
021dreams and I found yoga stairs and a reasonable weight resistance program for myself finally I came home one day flipped through all 789 cable stations that you get found nothing of interest to watch and decided to cancel cable I started reading more and I began to watch Netflix documentaries on the regular I came across a series that I began to binge watch called chef's table in one episode I learned the story about executive chef Muhammad Bailey a black woman and Ja No More Asano a white man that opened the gray restaurant in a formerly segregated Greyhound bus terminal in Savannah Georgia it was not so long ago to business partnerships such as theirs would not be possible mashaallah would not even be allowed to use the front door of the building that now has their
022restaurant the good old days would have made the possibility of creating and serving wonderful food to all people in one space impossible Mohammed is insist that throughout renovation signs of segregation remade in the updated 1938 art deco space she felt it was important to not erase the memory of what was once an acceptable way of thinking the story resonated with me and I found myself back on the stairs at lifetime listening to Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti and in its entirety contemplating the impacts have changed in time while we often cling to the way things were or we need to embrace the things that can be through a realization of proof progress open-mindedness and a better future for all humanity the cost of course is that some of the things we once held dear become artifacts
023and no longer a part of the equation perhaps the greatest cost is that in the blink of an eye our children stop being children in our world exclusively and become active parts of a global society in reevaluating the changes that overwhelmed me this year I began to have a new perspective on what my new normal was seeing my son graduated from navy boot camp was one of the proudest days of my life in his 20 years on this earth I have never seen him stand taller and carry himself in a way I had always hoped he would tears rolled down my face when I put my arms around him for the first time since going to boot camp once Liberty was called at graduation as I knew I was hugging my son as a man
024not a boy for the first time in my life I will worry about him every day when he deploys on the USS John P mirtha this June but I know he has found his way and I have found acceptance I have actually come to really like the boy in the sporty little Audi and I could not have asked for a better first boyfriend for my daughter he is kind compassionate caring makes me laugh and he embodies the best of this generation that stands in front of me tonight he enjoys my cooking he counts Simon & Garfunkel concert in Central Park amongst his favorite albums and he doesn't mind when Steve jumps on him or rips holes in his sweatshirt as far as Steve is concerned potty training is complete for the most part and mandatory
025cuddle time still happens every morning although now he weighs 70 plus pounds in fact we've pretty much started a bromance that I hope lasts a long time and while I hope to not have surgery anytime soon if I do I will make sure that my surgeon is smart enough to send their kid to the best school in the state of Colorado absolutely class of 2019 one thing that will never change is my love for you and memories that you have traced on my heart and my soul all the best tonight begging you to start realizing the change you can be in this world immediately thank you in the bottom of my heart you got speaker at large it is now my pleasure to introduce our student speaker the number 2019 at first glance appears to
026be rather insignificant just a miniscule meaningless point in time completely indistinguishable from any number that precedes or follows however upon further review the number 2019 can be broken down into two significant figures 2019 the year 2000 is significant because it marks the beginning of a brand new millennium we are the first class to graduate whose entire class was born in this the 21st century our class appeared 19 years ago at the turn of the century the same time as astounding innovations like the bluetooth earpiece automatic hand dryers and USB flash drives we belong to a phenomenon nicknamed Generation Z in a few simple words Generation Z is a group of kids who have grown up to be phone addicted and media obsessed sheep we are synonymous with YouTube Wikipedia and Facebook on a more serious
027note Generation Z is said to be kinder and more sensitive than any of their antecedent generations they were nicknamed the philanthropy it's because 76 percent of them are reportedly worried about the planet and 60 percent want their work to make a difference kids of the 2000 era could best be described as kind and caring now the number 19 19 is an odd integer okay whatever but it's also a prime number a prime number meaning it's only divisible by 1 and itself 19 is you can't because it's indivisible it is unbreakable it is strong and it is resilient as the class of nineteen we're significant because we two are indivisible unbreakable and resilient so if two thousand is representative of kindness and sensitivity and nineteen is representative resilient 2019 is a combination of the two to
028use one of Miz's Brubaker's favorite literary devices the number twenty nineteen is a juxtaposition of the numbers 2019 it's a fusion of caring to resilience our class is quantified as the integer twenty nineteen the number two thousand nineteen is rep is qualified as a blend of kindness and strength our class quantified by 2019 is qualified it's both resilient and compassionate 2019 is not just a number or a meaningless data point if thirteen years of liberal arts style education has taught me anything it would be that we are only aimless meaningless sheep if we choose to be you can make a difference you do matter you can be kind and resilient so choose to make a difference choose to be strong choose to be irrepressible thank you at this time it is my honor to introduce
029rampart sinks Asians under the direction of miss Melanie Reef who will be performing unclouded day [Music] [Applause] thank you so much it is now my pleasure to introduce Academy School District 20 superintendent dr. Mark Hackel dr. hatch Hill started his teaching career as a student teacher at district 20 s Air Academy High School in 2007 he was named superintendent of district 20 and after twelve successful years dr. hatch Oh will be retiring at the end of this year if you ask any student in the crowd what the job of the superintendent is the main priority is of course to call snow days I know I speak on behalf of the entire class of 2019 and saying thank you for all the snow days this year ladies and gentlemen please give it up for Academy school
030district 20 superintendent dr. Marc hassel [Music] and my mic reception and clap is louder this year because of all the snow days I can tell that thank you for the kind introduction I appreciate it I want to personally thank Brandon Flewelling who's been on my student advisory committee for the past two years and let me first say on behalf of my bosses the Academy 20 Board of Education congratulations to the class of 2019 it's amazing when I look around the crowd I see so many friends here quick quick congratulations to my friend Mike miles his son Anthony's graduating Laurie Edinburgh her her daughter Julia's graduating will tim be his son ethan is graduating a special congratulations to my good friend and assistant superintendent David Peake and his wife charity their daughter graduate Jordan is graduating
031tonight dr. Peake I'm not used to seeing you without your suit coat on but he's from Montana so he's probably really really warm tonight this morning I was sitting at the kitchen table with my son Mike and I told him today I was speaking at the graduation speech for rampart and I asked him what I should talk about and he said well dad perhaps you should talk about the importance of planning ahead now these are exciting times we live in but also times a great change and I always smile to myself when I hear the students say the struggle is real whether it's having to get up for school at 7:45 a.m. or having to do homework or not knowing someone's cell phone number I've heard that phrase the struggle is real I once had
032a student tell me you don't understand how real the struggle is because you're not that young and you probably don't even text now let me tell you when the struggle was real when I was in high school do you know back then if you wanted to change the channel on the TV you actually had to get up and change the channel [Music] in my day high definition was getting the rabbit ears just right and we didn't have 200 channels we had three and PBS which really didn't count in those days the struggle was real and you're not gonna believe this our parents made us walk or ride our bikes to school the struggle was real I didn't have a PlayStation 4 with high-definition graphics realistic audio and vibrating wireless remote we had monopoly I didn't
033have streaming music either we had eight track tapes and let me tell you it wasn't easy finding just the right color Leisure Suit to match your dates dress and to disco dance and platform shoes in my day the struggle was real to drive you had to learn how to use a clutch and stick shift and a ski you had to go up the mountain holding on for dear life to the t-bar and we didn't have a really nice superintendent [Applause] we went to school if there were four five six fourteen inches of snow as a matter of fact I never got a snow day the struggle was real and there was no find my friends app parents kept track of us by calling their friends and trust me on this one that was tough especially
034if you are like me and your dad was a principal and your mom was a teacher the struggle was real in all seriousness I think I know and understand many of the challenges you have you live in a complex interconnected world that never rests with pressures that are unimaginable in my day if you remember anything I say today remember this take care of yourself have resilience know that today's problems are just a blip on the screen years from now seniors as you go up on your Jersey seize the moment commit to not living a small life take that moment take a hard look at what you do if you had to do it all again on behalf of the nearly 30,000 students and staff in Academy district 20 best wishes and god bless [Music] thank

043that has set precedents for future classes to follow and a special shout-out to the extraordinarily unique awesome DP family I wouldn't change the experiences that I've had with you guys for the world for this speech for this speech Missy ABAI is the best way to convey a message is to connect with an audience your personal experience to which the listeners may associate their own stories so I hope sharing my perspective with you prompts thoughts of your own experiences in confronting intimidating situations which have in turn provoked personal growth and discovery to phrase it concisely Zippity store deputies or hey here's my story one of my most defining memories is when I learned to swim in the deep end at the bottom and unfathomable ten feet down five-year-old me for the possibility of a sinister beast
044that lurked in the water I mused that perhaps my sister who is treading water easily could distract this monster as bait while I learned to conquer the depths yet I still couldn't overcome the fear that prevented me from jumping in somehow in a way unbeknownst to me I ended up in the deep end swallowing unsavory amounts of chlorinated pool water to this day I am not sure if I accidentally slipped in jump of my own accord or if someone pushed me which if that was the case only my dad and my sister were with me so I guess I can only think them now but at the time there were definitely vindictive feelings present but I digress what I am sure of is that my initial plunge into the deep end was a gateway into
045a watery world of self-discovery and has served as my reminder to wholeheartedly embrace challenges that arise we have finally reached a culmination of efforts spent in so many more ways than just academia the end game and as we face our futures we experience moments of hesitation some longer than others regardless of how you feel know that it doesn't matter how our journeys begin if our paths begin by chance if we jump in on our own or if we need a little nudge understand that we may struggle to keep our heads above the water but as soon as we dive into realizing our ambitions a world of opportunity emerges from these opportunities we recognize the things that we are truly motivated by we are responsible for seeking our own passions and exploration we can't linger on
046the edge of the water for allowing the hidden monster called fear to conquer you before ever even facing it is to surrender the battle before it has begun in what has been more than just extensive years of education we've run to isolate our own voice from the chaos to differentiate our true selves from what others perceive of us we've carved our own identities we are fully equipped to seize our chances the sky's the limit although please be sure to act them legal constraints which I guess means you still can't use Clorox wipes in an ASD 20 class or class of 2019 I hope you continue to inspire me yourselves and those around you jump in the water's fine thank you [Applause] fellow graduates teachers parents and administrators today is the day to reflect on the
047past and think about the future looking back at our journey we have so much to appreciate and be thankful for Thank You administrators for providing us with a nurturing environment for self development and thank you teachers for a high level education and motivation for excellence thanks to the hard work put forth by everyone we are able to stand here today at another important milestone of life we can also be thankful for the ramp our community that we are all a part of being within a community is so devoted to excellence is a gift that many unfortunately do not receive without this community we would not be offered the countless opportunities that we have for growth knowing that we always have the support and resources that we need for success evokes a feeling of pleasant encouragement
048contributing to this high achieving community with high expectations of something we should all be proud of another factor that makes us stand out is our uniqueness in my four years of walking down the hallways of rampart High School I've not witnessed anyone who is identical to any of their peers whether it be in their ass or their thoughts about the future everyone here has their own source of motivation and their own personal Drive for achieving their goals this shows that although we are nurtured by the warmth of our community we are also just as strong as individuals and that is something that will shine regardless of the gloomy weather that future challenges may threaten us with despite our different sources of motivation everyone here has walked down a path towards success all of us are
049gathered here today with the momentum that we have pieced together from all of our experiences from this point on it is important to Kindle this fire that is this momentum and use it to move forward towards the success that is bound to occur in the future I hope you move from today with a sense of accomplishment but also an accompanied feeling of renewed motivation for a future success congratulations class of 2019 [Applause] [Music] all right class of 2019 this is when it gets real right here now mrs.
