005Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] Good evening everyone. My name is Dennis Lynch, principal of River High School. It is my great honor and privilege to welcome you all to Ever Veterans Memorial Stadium on the beautiful 4th day of June to celebrate our 560 graduates from Ever High School. Tonight we gather not just to mark the end of a chapter, but to celebrate the journey, the growth, and the incredible achievements of the class of 2025. To our proud parents, families, and guardians, thank you for the endless support, encouragement, and love you've given these graduates. Your role in their success cannot be overstated. To our dedicated faculty and staff, your tireless efforts, your passion for teaching, and your belief in these young people have helped shape them into the bright, capable individuals sitting before

006us today. Thank you for guiding them with care, wisdom, and dedication. And now to our graduates, today is your day. You've worked hard, overcome challenges, and grown in ways you may not yet fully realize. You not only learned from books, but from experiences, friendships, setbacks, victories, and lessons that will stay with you long after you leave our halls. As your principal, I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you. You've left your mark on the school and I know you'll leave an even greater mark on the world. At this time, I would want to ask if we could please face our flag as we recite the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

007indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Please remain standing as I invite the EHS force under the direction of Mr. Cory to honor the United States with the singing of our national anthem. [Music] Let's go relax. [Music] Say by the early light was so proudly held at the [Music] twice and rice. My stars through the heaven is for the heart we watch. We're so [Applause] [Music] galling and the rock is [Applause] bright through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that as our [Applause] sple for the land of the [Music] free of [Music] the praise. [Laughter] [Applause] Hey, please be seated. I would like to welcome and thank our honored guests joining me on the stage. We are proud to be with members of our school committee, central administration, elementary principles,

008members of our city council, our mayor of Everett, and our state legislators. To begin our program, please welcome the chairperson of our school committee, Mrs. Samantha Hurley. Good evening, everyone. As chairperson of the Ever School Committee, there is no greater privilege than to stand here tonight to recognize and applaud the excellence of our students. It is a genuine honor to celebrate the class of 2025 alongside family, friends, educators, local leaders, and representatives. To our family and friends, let us acknowledge the unconditional love and patience that have made it possible to reach this pivotal milestone in your students journey. To our educators, staff, and mentors, thank you for your unwavering belief in the potential of every student, which has made this very moment possible. Thank you all for lifting them up and walking beside them every

009step of the way. Tonight is a time for reflection and admiration. Our graduates have not only met academic expectations, they have managed busy schedules, faced challenges, balanced responsibilities, and persisted through uncertainty. And while today marks the end of one chapter, it is also the beginning of something new filled with possibility. To our seniors, well done. You've shown You've shown that commitment, resilience, and heart make all the difference. Whether you're headed to college, joining the workforce, or enlisting in the military, go forward with the pride of what you've accomplished here with Ever Public Schools. Continue to embrace curiosity. Use setbacks as opportunities for growth. And set bold goals that will propel you forward. You're not just stepping into the future. you are shaping it. On behalf of the Everett School Committee, I would like to congratulate

010our seniors on this well-deserved achievement and thank them for helping pave the way for future classes to succeed. Thank you for being you and making Ever. Congratulations, class of 2025. Thank you, Mrs. Early. with remarks to the class of 2025. Please welcome the superintendent of the Ever Public Schools, Mr. William Hire. Thank you, Principal Lynch. Good evening. And let me begin with a big thank you to everyone who's with us here this evening. To our students we are celebrating, to parents and family and friends who brought these children before us to receive their high school diploma. to our faculty and staff who have educated, inspired, and delivered our students to this very stadium, to our music department for their essential contributions to our graduation program and adding to its neverending list of accomplishments at Ever

011High School. In fact, this year we saw our percussion ensemble capture its first ever Wintergard International World Championship title. Of course, that's one of the many accolades and achievements our students have earned throughout this school year. I also want to express my deepest appreciation to members of our esteemed platform party. For Mayor Di Maria, the leader of our city and a key contributor to everything we do and hope to do within the Ever Public Schools. to state senator Saludi Dominico who has a long and distinguished career in public service and has a proven track record of delivering legislation that supports and protects students and educators. To our state, Representative McGonagal and other representatives have joined us this evening, Representatives Ryan and Garcia, who came directly from the state house working on important legislation that would

012impact us here in Everett and beyond. to our school committee chairperson Hurley and the members of the Everford school committee who without their overwhelming support I would not have been able to steer this district on a path to excellence who and also who've inspired me to work tirelessly on behalf of our students and families and to our city council president Stephanie Martins and the members of the ever city council. Your support to the ever public schools gives us real hope for expanding new opportunities across our schools. Thank you so much for those folks that I've just mentioned. I also would like to acknowledge the school district's partners in this work, including the Ever Police and the Ever Fire departments whose professionals are essential to providing a safe learning environment for our students and our staff.

013and to the dozens of individuals, businesses, civic organizations, and various institutions that support Ever High School students with scholarships, internships, and opportunities to promote access and student achievement. And last, but certainly not least, I want to have a big thank you. I know all of you are going to join me in thanking our principal, Mr. Lynch, our vice principles, Mr. Suter and Mr. Murphy and the entire Ever Public School staff along with the many City of Ever departments who put considerable time and energy into planning and facilitating tonight's graduation ceremony. I am so proud to be part of this team that give your graduation ceremony the attention it deserves. I would also like to call your attention to the flags that surround the stage this evening, signifying the many countries of origin of our students

014and family and which serves as a reminder of our commitment to celebrating diversity and inclusivity here at the Ever Public Schools and beyond in our classrooms. That's right. Tonight is not like any other night in June. It is not like any other night in our school calendar. It is a night for Everett to honor and celebrate our amazing seniors, the dedicated faculty who prepared and mentored you during your time at Ever High School and the proud parents, relatives, and loved ones who have filled this historic stage, excuse me, this historic stadium for this momentous occasion. Being among the first to formally congratulate you is a little extra significance for me because this is my first full year as superintendent of ever public schools. A thank you. A fact that several people have pointed out to

015me in recent days, including your vice president of the class, Madal Baloo. In addition, as many of you know, my office has been temporarily located at Ever High School. And let me tell you, this has given me the unique chance to fully experience life in one of the largest and most diverse high schools in Massachusetts and how proud I am. I have been inspired by being with each of you and amongst you each and every day, observing and absorbing the rhythm and energy you create every day, watching you learn, watching you compete and perform, and most of all, watching you interact with each other and your teachers. And it proves to me that we have not only educated you, but we have readied you to be influencers and change makers in a more culturally sensitive

016and mutually accepting society. This was especially true over the past several weeks as we held a series of celebratory events that led up to tonight's graduation ceremony. Whether it was seeing you arrive at senior prom with all styles and smiles, I might add, or graciously accepting academic honors or scholarships inside every high school auditorium, you have brought honor to your families, our school district, our city, and beyond. We leave here tonight with so much pride, so much accomplishment. We will wake up tomorrow to a new day knowing that the future is yet to be realized by all of you. On behalf of the Ever Public Schools, we are proud of the mark you have left on Everett High School in particular and the impact I know each and every one of you will have on

017our futures. So to the members of the class of 2025, you did it. Congratulations. Thank you, Mr. Hart. We have three guest speakers joining us this evening. Our first is your state senator, the honorable Salamo. [Applause] Good evening everyone. Good evening. All right. Congratulations class of 2025. So last year when I stood at this podium, I talked about some of the words that I learned from that class and some people already laughing because they know what I'm where I'm going with this. So I've learned from all of you and I know a lot of you in this class. So it is a special class to me even though some of you were only two and three when I got elected to the state senate. So, I've seen you grow and I've seen all your amazing

018accomplishments and some words that I've learned from all of you. I bet I bet mid fire. Let him cook. Let him cook. Right. This is one of the most accomplished classes. No cap. No cap. No cap. Did I use that right? Did I use it right? All right. I have seen the amazing results on the athletic fields, our music department, culinary arts, drama, our science teams, robotics. You have succeeded in everything that you have tried to accomplish and more. And I am so proud to be your state senator, but I'm just so proud to live in a community where our kids are the the crown jewel of our community. Our kids, the crown jewel. And when you go off to, you know, leaving Everett and when you go off to different places, I always say

019this to our class, I usually end it, but I'm going to start it with this. Wherever you may go, the workforce, off to college, the armed forces, if you stay in our state or go across the country or a different country, when people ask you where you're from, you always say ever, Massachusetts. You never say greater Boston. You never say M. You never say Boston, you say ever because ever is proud of you and you are part of our fabric for the rest of your lives. You know, Mark Twain, a famous author, always said that you will be more disappointed in 20 years by the things you did not do than by the things that you did do. So do not be afraid to take risks. Do not be afraid do something that's uncomfortable. Do

020not be afraid to fail cuz every experience makes you grow and become stronger. And we all know that our our kids, some of you were born in Everett, some of you were born in other cities, some of you were born in different states, and some of you were born in different countries. But you all belong here right now in this moment in time. You all part of the graduating class of 2025 forever. And that's why this is a little different in this community than other communities. We all come together to celebrate all of you, but we also celebrate the accomplishments of you as people. and we support you and you will be our ambassadors going out there into the world showing everyone what ever is made out of. You are the people that going to

021make us proud and show the rest of the world why ever is the place that we all love and cherish together. And I always say this too because there's there's so many important things that you that I want to tell you but I'm going to step down after this. When you people aspire to be a CEO or president or have a lot of money in the bank and I'm telling you that's not the most important thing. The most important thing going forward is being a good son, a good daughter, a good wife, a good husband, a good partner, a good friend. Because we have all needed help to get to this point in our lives. And you being that person that people turn to for help and guidance, just being someone to talk to, someone

022having cry on your shoulder, lifting somebody up when they're down. That is how we're going to be remembered going forward. That is what people are going to look at and say that is a good person. They're not going to say that person has that money in the bank account. Right? And I will also say this, behind you are all your memories. Before you are all your dreams around you are all the people that care and support you like your teachers and your parents and your families. And within you, you have all you need. You are ready to take the next step and take on the world. Congratulations, class of 2025. I am very, very proud of all of you. Thank you much everyone. Have a great night. Thank you Mr. Dominico. Our next special guest

023speaker also joining us from the state house this evening is your state representative the honorable Joseph McGonagle Jr. [Applause] Good evening everyone. It's not always easy being the state representative and following a great order like Sal D. Dominico, but I'm going to try. All right, students. So, number one, congratulations to the class of 2025. and on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the House of Representatives, thank you for having me here today to celebrate this momentous uh occasion with the uh class of 2025 with all the special guests, faculty members, teachers, family, friends, and of course you. And this is a momentous achievement and you should all be very proud of yourselves. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of many many of you over the years through athletics after school clubs like teaser

024awards at the state house that there are many of and my one of my favorites is the awardwinning culinary arts program that I've seen a few years at Gillette Stadium and I'm sure there's a few of you in the audience today. So congratulations [Music] and also our incredible band. What a job they do at the state house. Here tonight and uh when the senator invites them to the state house, let me tell you, it shuts the whole building down cuz everybody comes to listen to you. So, thank you. also had the opportunity to meet the award winning students with in Governor Healey's office two weeks ago and I've seen all of quite a few of his rise and grow since elementary school. But now, now it is time for your next chapter. And many of

025you will be continuing higher education. Some heading to trade schools, which I did. Others straight to the workforce. Some are thinking about the military. And you know, some who just have no idea like I did at your age. And I'm here to tell you that all of that is okay. You are exactly where you are supposed to be right here, right now. and graduating high school. Take it from me and superintendent and uh Superintendent Hart and vice chairman Jenny Cristiano will attest to this that graduating high school is no easy task. Especially for me, many things can get in the way. Many people dream of achieving high school diplomas but never reach that dream. But here you are, high school graduates who enable with the skills, ability, and confidence to create a worthwhile life for

026yourselves. And I want to take a moment for you to imagine after tonight what that life can be. So when I was in your seat, not a clue what I was going to do, I never imagined that I'd be a state representative one day here in the city of Everett and I would when I became a state representative, I never imagined that I'd be given a chairmanship, which is a big deal in the state house. And I when I was given a championship, I never imagined that I'd be named the chair recently of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, which is the honor of my lifetime. And I don't say this for bravado to you. I say this because I'm telling you, you can be anything you want with hard work, perseverance, and you will

027be amazed someday with what you've accomplished. So today, celebrate, enjoy, reminisce, be present, and be proud of this moment. Then when the time comes, use your voice. be the change that you want to see. And please, like you've heard from the other speakers, never forget where you came from. You never forget us here and ever. So on behalf of myself, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, congratulations. God bless the class 2025, God bless everybody here, and God bless the United States of America. Thank you, Mr. Our last special guest speaker is a member of our school committee and the mayor of our wonderful city, the Honorable Carlo Di Maria Jr. Thank you, Principal Lynch, and good evening. This is actually one of my favorite events uh is being mayor. So, thank you for allowing me to be

028here this evening. Fellow elected officials, EP EPS administrators, faculty and staff, class officers, proud family and friends, and most importantly, members of Ever High School class of 2025. So, would you say all of you were born 2007 and six 6 7 8. So, I was elected mayor in 2007, which was the honor of my lifetime to be the mayor of my hometown. I've got to see you all grow up, read to you and your schools, Dr. Seuss, eighth grade basketball, just all the different events throughout those years. And I'll be honest with you, been the highlight of my life to see you all grow up. really. Uh I've enjoyed my 18 years as mayor and being here with you tonight is is uh is a great moment for me. And if I've learned anything in

029that time, I've learned that the last thing you want on a beautiful early summer night celebration like this is to listen to a bunch of people give speeches. So, I'm going to be brief. My wife Stacy and I are parents ourselves, and we know how challenging it is to raise a family today. So, we both want to congratulate all the families here today and thank you for your sacrifices that you have made to make sure that this year's graduates have reached this milestone. So, congratulations to all of you. There's a question that I would like to pose to our graduates. In the words of Kendrick Lamar, we all get distracted. The question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards? As you move forward into the world, you're going to face obstacles. And God, you

030know, I have faced them. Life is full of challenges and heartbreaks. But what life is all about, life is going to throw challenges at you. But that's what life's all about. Life is going to throw challenges at you. Sometimes those challenges can distract us and try to keep us from achieving our goals. But don't let them. Never let anyone or anything ever keep you from pursuing your dreams. Never let anyone cause you to doubt yourself. You will never fail in life as long as you always believe in yourself. It is my distinct honor as your mayor to congratulate each one of you on behalf of the residents of the city of Everett. So, congratulations to the class of 2025. God bless you all and remember, bounce back. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Moving on to our

031student speakers, please welcome the president of the class of 2025, who will be attending Eastern Connecticut State University in the fall to play basketball and study health sciences, Emmelia Maria Batpack. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Good evening everyone. My name is Amelia Maria Babcock and I'm proud to represent our our class as your EHS class president. [Applause] It is a privilege to speak on this unfor unforgettable day. Before we begin, of course, we need to start off by giving ourselves a round of applause. You should all be proud to be here today and excited to see what you can do with tomorrow. Before I get into my speech for real, for real, I just want to take a moment to show my gratitude. I'm genuinely honored to have been chosen to speak today and incredibly grateful for

032this opportunity. I'm starting off by thanking all the staff at Everett High who keep this place going, including teachers, especially Miss [Applause] Jones, coaches who have dedicated their hearts to their teams, deans, janitors, lunch ladies, school committee members, and our superintendent, Mr. Hart. Thank you all to the families who have supported and pushed their graduates to be here today. Don't get me wrong, yes, we are the ones graduating, but they couldn't have done it without you. So, thank you. And how can I forget the amazing EHS class of 2025 from start to finish, you've brought so many laughs and made this experience one to remember. Like spirit weeks and mass ad, even though my locker was Oh my goodness. What would like spirit like spirit wheats and mass a even though my locker was more

033like a side street myself and many others still thawned our way there. When the lights went out at the boys soccer cedar night, we wasted no time and kept having fun. We turned our flashlights on, blasted music, and kept the energy alive. Even as simple as walking to class together or laughing in the back in math class, still having no clue what was being taught. It's moments like these that made our high school years unforgettable. God, now I'd like Now I'd like to thank this a little more personal. I thank God for walking me through every high and low and for being the foundation I can always lean on. I want to thank my grandma and my aa for always showing me love and strength. I would like to thank my the Fatima for being

034my second mother and always treating me like her own. I want to thank my papy. He has shown me what it means to work hard and staying determined looks like. He would sit down and help me work through complex math problems until I got them right. He would play catch with me for hours and if it was a nice day out, you already know he took me to the courts and we would run ones. Still can't beat this man in a 1 v one day. hopefully. But he truly is my inspiration to work hard and stay driven. Finally, I would like to thank my amazing mom. She is actually right behind me as a school committee member. Stand up. Stand up. I would not be who I am. Oh my god. Sorry. I would not

035be who I am today if it weren't for her. She's my biggest cheerleader or my most brutally honest critic. And let me tell you, she can be pretty honest at times. But I'm grateful for it all. She has been my rock. Every step, every accomplishment, even every failure, she has been there. My mom is one of the most selfless people I know. Not only does she put me and my family before herself, but anyone she thinks needs it. My mom is like everyone's teen mom. [Applause] She does such an incredible job showing the people around her what it feels like to be loved. And I hope this message can reflect the same feeling on to her. I love you to the moon and back. Thank you. Okay, enough of this mushy gushy stuff. Now it's

036time for the real deal. And I promise it's not too long. We have a long night ahead. There's a philosophy I made in the seventh grade that I try to live my life by. It was also my yearbook pro. do and regret. Don't overthink and never do. I'd rather apologize for taking a risk than never knowing the outcome. Now, just to be clear, I'm not saying you should go rob a bank. And if you do, please don't say I said it was okay. That one's on you. But you got to just do things you believe are right and worth it. This philosophy has had a profound effect on my life, and I would like to share some of the advice that has taught me with all of you today in hopes that will have the

037same effect on you guys. First off, you can't plan your way into happiness. Some of us knew exactly what we wanted to do after high school. Some of us changed minds like every semester, and some of us are still figuring it out. And that's okay because we are living in a very uncertain world. Sometimes the best parts of life happen when you stop planning and just say yes. You don't always have to f you don't always you don't always find joy by following a script. Some of life's greatest adventures begin the moment you stop overthinking and just go for it. If we're always overthinking or overplanning, then we're not truly present. We have to write our own story one moment at a time. That means being aware, staying curious, and leaving room for change. My

038mom has a passion for photography and I've really come to admire how she freezes moments in time, creating little pieces of memories we can hold on to. But I've also learned something. If we're always behind the lens, you might actually miss the moment. Being fully present, eyes open, heart engaged is the real memory maker. Some of my favorite memories didn't come from a to-do list. They came from saying yes to something unexpected. Spontaneity is where the stories live. The kind that start with, okay, I wasn't planning to, but it ends with something we can talk about for years. For example, we planned our senior prank for 12 hours before it happens. And now we have a story to tell. The truth is, being spontaneous isn't just about doing fun things. It's about trusting yourself enough

039to take a chance. It's about knowing that even if it doesn't work out exactly the way you thought, you're still going to have a story to tell. A memory that's yours or just a mistake to learn from. Mistakes teach us more than perfection ever could. Perfection might feel safe, but it doesn't challenge us. Mistakes, on the other hand, force us to think differently, to adapt, and most importantly, to grow. Every wrong turn, every failed attempt, every I wish I done that differently moment all carry a lesson that perfection cannot offer. You don't grow by staying in your comfort zone. Don't learn from things you've never dared to try. Growth happens when we make mistakes. And the wisdom begins the moment we embrace them. Almost there. Look, if you zoned out during the last few minutes

040and didn't catch anything I've been saying this whole time, just remember this. Nike was on to something with that motto. Sometimes you really got to just do it. If we're always planning, then we're just humans doing rather than humans being. I want you to listen to that again. If we are just planning, then we are just humans doing rather than humans being. So, to the class of 2025, I hope you take the risk, ask the question, have fun, and say yes to something unexpected. You won't always get it right, but you'll always get a story. You'll always have a story to tell, and sometimes that's even better. Thank you. I want to take a picture. [Applause] I journey love you guys all so much. You guys are amazing. Come on. Let's hear for your class

041[Applause] president. Before we move on to our next two student speakers, I would like to acknowledge two special young women. One is your class vice president who has proven to be a phenomenal leader, Manal Bugu. [Applause] And the other is Melena Antonio. Separated by 19,000 of a point from the number two spot in the class. Elena will be attending New York University where she will be studying political science and pre-law with aspirations of becoming a lawyer. Please acknowledge these two wonderful students. Our class saludiatoran is our student representative on the school committee has a GPA of 4.87 87 and will be attending Tus University where she will be studying biomed engineering. The number two ranked student in the class of 2025, Kelly St. Ford. [Applause] Thank you. Good afternoon, family, friends, and faculty. It is

042an honor to stand here before you today as this year's saludiatoran. First and foremost, I would like to thank my mom whose spirit and resilience has shaped who I am today. Mom, you are incredibly strong and beautiful. I could not be here today without your unwavering support and determination and determination to grow a better life. I would also like to thank my father for the sacrifices that he's made that has led me to this very moment and my older siblings Sandy Ericson and Bianca for their wisdom and guidance through it all. [Applause] When I came to the United States at 3 years old after the 2011 earthquake in Haiti that left everyone in devastation, I wasn't aware of the gift I had been given, a chance to start over. It's easy to lose sight of

043that gift as life moves on. We get stuck on the superficial things in life like social media, money, and fame that we forget that we have so much love to share with the world and so much life yet to live. Today marks the end of our time in Ever public schools, but it also marks the start of our impact into the world around us. I want everyone here to today to leave with the understanding that life is what you make it. You do not have to accept the cards that you have been dealt, but instead have the courage to change it the way that you envision. As I sat down to write this, I struggled to find something that would connect us all. I realized that we are we are all connected by the invisible

044forces that make us who we are. We've seen each other almost every day for 13 years. And in that time, we've shaped each other in ways we may not even realize. At this point in our lives, nothing is more meaningful than the relationships we've built because these are the people who will be there to witness and celebrate life's biggest milestones with us. It truly is the friends we made along the way. I'd like to shout out Melena Antonio, who deserves to be up here just as much as I do. Your accomplishments are extraordinary. NYU has gained not only a conscientious student, but a humble and vibrant young adult. And I cannot wait to see what you achieve. To my fellow Haitians, I would like to tell you this. [Applause] game. As the late Chad Bowman

045would say, to be young, gifted, and black. Let today let today be a testament to to you all of the power of minority groups that once given a chance and opportunity to thrive we will soar. Sometimes it can be overwhelming thinking of all the possibilities that there are out there. Many of us want to be teachers, doctors, lawyers, artists, musicians and so much more. What happens when you want to be all? The the answer is simple. Be all. What happens? Wait. Never shy away from opportunities and do not take what life has to offer for granted. Say yes to the things that scare you. And if you're not scared anymore, conquer another obstacle. Be aware of the circumstances around you and how you unknowingly contribute to them. Always use your voice for what you believe

046in, even if it doesn't reflect the status quo. I would like to thank all the teachers who have shaped me from preschool to high school. I have not forgotten a single one and I hope you take my accomplishments as your own. Shout out to the STEM pathway run by Dr. Ciders, for giving me a space to grow while pursuing my passions, but also for exposing me to a diverse group of people that I will always hold close. And to Randy Cruz, my very best friend, I would like I would like to remind you, first is the worst, second is the [Applause] best. As we leave the stadium tonight, be excited for the new lives you will start. You will constantly face failure, but never forget that it costs nothing to get back up and start

047over again. Good luck, class of 2025, and know that I will always be in your corner. Bye. Let's hear it for your saludiatoran Kelly State [Applause] four. And speaking of number one, our last student speaker has a GPA of 4.987. He will be attending Nor Eastern University in the fall to study mechanical engineering with a minor in aerospace. The validictorian of the class of 2025, Randy Cruz Vanoea. Hello, guys. Woo. Okay, I'm really nervous, so bear with me. Hello and good afternoon. Thank you for being here today. I know it's s, so for everyone's request, I'll keep this short, hopefully. First, I want to congratulate the class of 2025. It's been a hectic four years, but we finally made it. Round of applause for y'all. I could stand here pretend like I know every single

048one of you, but we all know that's not true. Still, I want you to know that every interaction I've had have with any of you, no matter how small, has le has left an impact on me. Whether we became close over the years or exchanged only a few words, I've come to realize that I'm truly collection of all the people I've met. Wherever I go, wherever you go, these memories and moments will continue to shape me. And for that, I'm truly grateful. As I was writing this final assignment, I started thinking about all the things I miss about Ever High. hanging around the walkers randomly throughout the day, the awkward hallway glances at old friends, seeing my past teachers, and even the tater tots at lunch. It's all the small things that suddenly become so

049important. That sense of comfort and familiarity is really what keeps you going. So, as you venture to the college, whether you're go as you venture to the world, whether you're going to college, working, traveling, or just figuring it all out, find the little things that bring you joy. Find the people and places that make it so hard to say goodbye. Personally, I wouldn't be standing here today without so many people in my life. I want to thank my wonderful friends, my family, and my teachers, not just from Everett High, but going all the way back to Lafayette. One teacher in particular shaped me more than he knew. Mr. Patnau, my very first teacher at Luna Everett in the fifth grade. He passed away a few months ago, and I want to honor him today. He

050welcomed me when I felt out of place, and his belief in me stayed long after I left his classroom. He set me on the path to becoming who I am today. And I only wish you could have been here today. To every teacher I've had throughout the years, thank you. I hope you know how important your role has been in my life. As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Now more than ever, this stands true. I want to give a special shout out to the big three that guided me through STEM. Dr. Cers, Dr. Bland, and Mr. Munoz. [Applause] You guys have shown me nothing but kindness and support and I'll always remember that. To my friends, the OG Lafayette Lions, Little Pieces, Cali of course, and so many more. Thank you so much for

051making this journey bearable. The memories we've created will live on with me till the very end. Finally, I want to take a moment to thank my wonderful family, who I hope is out there somewhere. Steph, thank you for your quiet strength and constant support. I know being the oldest isn't easy, but you make it look effortless. You've been my guide, my role model. V, thank you for the laughters, the chaos, the surprises. You remind me every day to live with joy. I can't wait to see you walk the stage one day. And to my beautiful mom, mommy. Thank you, class of 2025. I hope you remember that you were once part of something special here. I hope you carry a piece of this place, these people with you. And above all, remember to live and

052let time pass. Congratulations. Thank you. Let's hear it again for your class valadictorian. Would Brianna Delorby please rise? Biana is honored to graduate as a national QuestBridge Mass Scholar, having earned a full ride scholarship to Boston University where she will study biochemistry on the premed track. From mentoring young students to giving back through service, Briana has poured her heart into her community. She dreams of becoming a doctor, not just to heal, but to uplift and inspire those around her. She should be very proud and congratulations [Applause] At this time, all medal recipients, please rise. The 96 students you see standing before you have achieved a grade point average of 3.7 or higher over their high school career. We applaud your academic achievement, dedication, and hard work, and we look forward to what you will achieve

053in the future. Congratulations to our honor letter recipients. It is truly an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations. Lastly, when all students join the military please stand. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your future service to our country. You have already made Everett High School and your city proud. We wish you all the best and thank you again for serving in the armed forces. And now the moment you have all been anxiously awaiting, the presentation of diplomas to the Ever High School class of [Applause] 2025.
