001There's something We were [Music] Data. Here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hey. [Music] Lou here I do well. [Music] Good evening, graduates, parents, faculty, friends, and distinguished guests. I'm John Andrews, the principal here at Desert Mountain. At this time, please silence any mobile devices so that we may honor and celebrate the DMHS class of 2025 without interruption. Thank you. Please stand for our national anthem performed tonight by our very own DM choir. [Music] by the twilight stripes and bright gallantly [Music] streams through the night there. Oh, [Music] say the land of the free. [Music] Let us now take a moment of silence to remember those we have lost or that could not be here with us tonight. Thank you. Please be seated. I would like to take a moment and recognize an extremely hardworking and dedicated group
002who are essential to the success of Desert Mountain High School. I would like to ask all of our faculty and staff to stand so that we may acknowledge you. Thank you all for all that you do. You may be seated. Thank you. Next, we'd like to thank our district administration for being with here with us this evening. Dr. Heather Cruz, assistant superintendent of human resources and board member Mrs. Amy Carney. Last, but certainly not least, we would like to thank our feeder school administrators who are here with us tonight right over there to celebrate our achievements. Thank you for being here. Miss Jen Waldron from Anastasia Elementary School. Miss Kimberly Mills from Desert Canyon Elementary School. Dr. Amanda Rand from Redfield Elementary School. and Alicia Kellum from Cheyenne Traditional School. Thank you all for being
003here. Now, without further ado, it is my great pleasure to introduce tonight's Master of Ceremonies, your student body president, Haley Glicksman. Well, I just tripped at graduation. But you know what? It's fine. Many years ago, I would have been mortified. I would have spent all night thinking about who saw me, who laughed, and who Snapchat story I'd be on. But today, I tripped to make a point. The truth is, most of us spend way too much energy worrying about how we look to other people. We worry, we photoshop, we curate our social media feeds, we overthink. But neither us nor life is meant to be perfect. It's meant to be lived awkwardly, boldly, messily. Whether that means getting lost in high school on your first day, participating in the wave during a pep rally, or
004actually dressing up for spirit week. And yeah, sometimes that means tripping on stage. So today, as we graduate, I want us to carry that freedom with us. Let's take risks. Let's mess up. Let's do things that might make us look a little ridiculous because those are often the things worth doing. Don't hold back because you think someone might be watching you. Let your life be a collection of real moments, not a perfected highlight reel. And if you trip along the way, laugh, get up, and keep going. You're not here to impress the world. You're here to live in it. So, here's how I want to end this. My parents always told me to take in the moment. So, when you're here, take in the moment. Now, don't be embarrassed. Don't hold back. Everybody stand up.
005This is our last chance to cheer as loudly as we can as the class of 2025. So don't worry if you look silly or don't worry who's watching. This moment is ours. Now scream, yell. All right, everybody. Have a great graduation and congratulations to all of us. All right, let's keep this energy up. Today, I want to join me in welcoming our senior dedicate, a cherished faculty member selected and honored Graduating class, it is a privilege to introduce the 2025 senior dedicate, Mr. Charles Becker. On behalf of the class of 2025, awesome. We will get a plaque very shortly, but we would like to thank you for your dedication and Thank you for your words as well. Thanks Haley. Good evening everyone. Uh parents and loved ones. It's so nice to be celebrating with you
006tonight. If you are into prop betting, the overunder for this speech is set at 11 minutes and 35 seconds. So make your wagers. And boys who I just talked to before we came out here, the overunder for dad jokes is.5. Class of 2025, it's humbling to stand right here tonight. When I received word that you had chosen me to speak at your graduation, it came with a real sense of gratitude. In conversations I have with grown-ups outside of school, I get to say I genuinely love my job when the what do you do for work question comes up. Loving your job isn't something that many people get to truly say. Ask your parents and maybe you'll see what I'm talking about there. But the reason I get to say it is because of you, the
007students I get to work with every day. I get to watch you grow and learn and change and try and fail and then succeed. And that brings me so much joy. That's why tonight is bittersweet. I'm celebrating your next chapter while selfishly knowing that my classroom will miss your unique character. I'll also say the staff of Desert Mountain High School is full of brilliant and talented people, many of whom deserve the opportunity to stand here and share their wisdom. I think about those teachers who you love and cherish, and I want you to know that I love and cherish them and this school, too. The honor means more to me than you might realize. And I don't take lightly the privilege of sharing these moments with you on such a significant evening in your life.
008And it is a beautiful evening. We had a beautiful sunset. We are together in this beautiful setting. And I can palpably feel the magic right now. And that magic is coming from you seniors. There's something I want to do before I really get into it. Let's take a beat to celebrate the connections that we have with one another right now. So, if you are in the grand stands, if you're in the audience right now, and you supported someone on this field who is graduating tonight, I'd like you to give that graduate a round of applause, please. Seniors, let's repay them. If there are people up there watching you who helped you along the way, give them a round of applause and kind. I hope that got us in like the feeling warm and fuzzy zone.
009That was what I was trying to do there. So, I want to speak to you tonight in a way that conveys kindness and dignity the same way I tried to speak to you as your teacher for all these years. I think that's part of why you selected me to speak tonight. You don't want platitudes. You don't want inspirational quotes that fade in the morning. You deserve authenticity. You deserve honesty. And that's what I intend to give you. Your achievements and your potential are the reason we're here tonight. And they are an extraordinary cause for celebration and for the occasion. I want to tell you some things that I've learned often the hard way that might serve you in your journey ahead. So truly from my heart to yours, here's what I'll say. Number one, sometimes
010the best path forward requires what feels like taking a step backward. We live in a time that demands constant forward momentum. We're bombarded with highlight reels of people climbing ever higher, achieving more, advancing faster. The pressure to maintain uninterrupted progress can be tremendous. I know many of you are heading off to college or vocational school, to the workplace, and even the military with your plans carefully laid out. Your majors are declared, your career path is envisioned. Perhaps even your life trajectory mapped for the next four years and beyond. You're moving forward. And for some of you, those plans will unfold exactly as you had envisioned. But for many of you, life will present unexpected turns and new insights or simply a growing realization that what you thought you wanted at 18 years old is not
011what you want at 21. Let me be clear that this is not a failure of planning or a sign of weakness. It's growth. It's a demonstration of strength and it often requires what looks like a step backward to others. Sometimes the most courageous thing that you can do is resist the pressure to constantly climb higher. especially when the climb takes you away from your core values. So remember, moving sideways or even temporarily backward isn't failure, it's recalibration. The path to your most meaningful life probably won't resemble a straight line upward. So take a moment to consider what truly matters to you beyond the external metrics of success. What would you do? And who would you want to be if nobody was watching or measuring or evaluating your choices? Because that's your true north star. While
012you're navigating those paths that twist and turn, you'll also notice something happening with the people walking alongside you. Which brings me to my second reflection number two. You will outgrow people and people will outgrow you. It's another truth that not everyone learns right away. Relationships naturally evolve and transform over time. The friendships that sustained you through high school and through the next phases of your life won't accompany you all through the decades ahead. And that's both normal and necessary. This isn't license to be careless with the people in your life, but rather permission to recognize when connections have served their purpose in your journey. Some connections serve a pac specific purpose. Others accompany you for a particular chapter and only a handful remain constant through your entire life. And those most meaningful connections will find
013ways to evolve as you do. And when certain friendships naturally fade, it creates space for new relationships that align with who you are becoming. Look around at those sitting beside you right now. Some will remain central to your story. Others will become fond memories. Both of those outcomes are perfectly valid. As relationships evolve around you, so too will the challenges you face. And speaking of challenges, there is something powerful about them that I want to share. Number three, the most exciting opportunities often come disguised as problems. When you face significant challenges in the coming years, and you will face many, try asking yourself, "What if this problem is actually a doorway? What appears to be an unwelcome obstacle might become the path to innovation that you would have never discovered otherwise. The constraint itself can
014create generate the creativity. And this pattern will repeat throughout your life. Losing a job you thought was ideal or having to care for an ill family member or just having to choose between two opportunities that you equally want. And you're entering a world filled with complex problems beyond your personal lives as well. Things like political polarization and technological disruption. These challenges can seem overwhelming. But embedded with each of those problems are seeds for opportunity, for innovation, connection, growth. The question isn't whether you'll encounter problems. You will, but whether you'll recognize the doorways they might contain. And this approach to seeing problems differently connects directly to how you'll spend your energy in the years ahead. Because as you tackle these challenges and walk through these doors of opportunity, you'll quickly discover one last thought that I
015want to share. Number four, don't confuse activity with impact. In the coming years, many of you will enter professional environments that will measure you by your productivity. You'll experience pressure to demonstrate constant activity, to always appear busy and engaged. But here's a distinction that I've come to understand. Activity and impact are not the same thing, and sometimes they're inversely related. This distinction will become increasingly important as you age and your priorities change. We live in an attention economy that rewards the conspicuous effort, the late night email response, the weekend work session, the constantly updated social media presence. But meaningful change rarely emerges from that type of frantic activity. The most impactful people I know have developed the courage to step back, create space for reflection, and identify the few actions that genuinely matter in their
016lives. They understand that sometimes the most productive thing that you can do is take in the view for an hour or go for a long walk or have a conversation with ch with someone who challenges the way you think. Your value isn't measured by your busyiness. It's measured by the positive change you create in whatever space you inhabit. Whether that's your workplace or your relationships or your community. Before I conclude, I want to touch on something about all of this. These things I'm sharing tonight are not absolute truths. They're reflections based on my journey and shaped by my experiences and values. Your path will reveal different wisdom. And that's one of the most beautiful things about living. Seniors, you're stepping into a world that craves and deserves your energy and creativity and your fresh perspective.
017The challenges you face ahead are significant, but so is your capacity to meet them. You already demonstrated remarkable resilience. I know because I had the privilege of witnessing it every day in room 7217 and on the theater stage and on the court and on the field in and all of those spaces that you incredible and talented people occupy. Remember that the benchmarks for success that society hands you are just suggestions. You have the authority to define success in your own terms. You have permission to change direction, to prioritize connection over achievement, to value depth over breadth. Most importantly, you have the capacity to find joy in reaching destinations, but also in the journey itself with all of its unexpected detours and challenges and beautiful discoveries. I promise you, and I speak from experience, the journey
018is the best part of this whole thing. So, enjoy that ride. It's been my privilege to be part of your story. Now you get to relish in writing the next chapter. Fill it with kindness. Treat it with dignity and make it yours. Congratulations, class of 2025. What a privilege it has been to know you and what a gift it will be to witness the difference you make wherever your journey takes you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Becker. That was incredible. This spring, several members of our class wrote original speeches and auditioned for the opportunity to speak at this ceremony. From that talented group, one individual was selected to address you all this evening. Please welcome Tessa Wal who will be presenting our senior address titled We Leave as a Pack. Did you know that wolves
019and humans have many things in common? Both are loyal creatures, often willing to risk their own safety in order to protect their pack. Both are territorial, guarding what they love with everything they have. Both are adaptable, able to survive and even thrive and unfamiliar territory and through the harshest of conditions. And that perfectly describes the Desert Mountain High School class of 2025. I've seen loyalty in the friendships that formed in hallways, classrooms, and in the quiet moments when someone just needed a hand to hold or words of encouragement. The loyalty that defines a pack. I've seen their fight in competitiveness during rival football games against Shap, defending our den. I've seen my classmates overcome extreme winters of our own, surviving difficult obstacles that tested us early and often. We started high school in the shadow
020of a global pandemic. Learning how to rebuild friendships, motivation, and routines. I've seen my classmates try to find a few hours of sleep during finals week when the stress of grades and studying was endless. I've seen my classmates go head-to-head with Mr. Trap's econ tests, leaving the battlefield with thousand yard stairs and shaky hands. But hey, we knew what a marginal cost was by the end of it. Like wolves, we didn't face these challenges alone. We worked together. We moved together. Like when we built a bottle rocket freshman year with hot glue and determination, hoping it wouldn't explode in our faces. And whether it launched high or hit the ground in seconds, we celebrated anyway because we did it together. We worked with a shared instinct. Like a pack traveling across unknown terrain, we pushed
021each other forward, supporting each other in the highs and lows. Sometimes that support came in the quietest of ways. I remember one morning back in August, I was overwhelmed with college applications, decisions, and trying to figure out what my future even looked like. It must have shown because Mr. Becker, who I know many of us love, left a simple note on my desk that said, "You will be okay." I still have that note. It's taped to my mirror. And it turns out he was right. I am okay. We are okay. That's the kind of community we have. One that notices, one that cares. Whether our goals were playing college sports, getting into a dream school, earning that scholarship, or just making it through senior year, we pursued them with heart and as a pack. Even
022though many of us have different backgrounds, different dreams, different goals, struggles, and strengths, we stood by each other. We laughed together. We stressed together. and we grew up together. And just like wolves in the wild, we became a pack. And while graduation marks the end of our high school chapter, it's the beginning of something new. Many of us will be leaving soon. Some traveling across the country, some staying close to home. Some of us know exactly what we want to do next, and others are still figuring it out. And that's okay. But no matter how far we roam, we will always be a part of the Desert Mountain Pack. As you face challenges and obstacles in the future, remember where you came from. Remember the hallways that shaped you, the people who believed in you,
023and the lessons that you will carry with you. Remember that you will always have the Desert Mountain community to fall back on. I encourage you to keep growing not just professionally or academically but as people because real growth does not happen overnight and it does not happen by standing still. Growth requires change. It requires courage. It asks us to take risks to face the unknown to step outside what we know and discover who we can become. Does this sound terrifying? It shouldn't because with the help of our friends, our parents, our teachers, this is what we have done every day for the past four years. Remember, just like wolves, we were made to move forward. We were made to adapt, to lead, to find our own place in this world. This is the point in
024the commencement speech where I'm supposed to dispense some advice. But I am just smart enough to know that I shouldn't be giving advice to anyone unless it's about tennis. Instead, I'll share something my mom shared with me. Throughout my years as a competitive tennis player, she shared something that reminded me that showing up, giving your all, and daring to compete, no matter the outcome, is what truly matters. It's a message that carried me through victories and defeats. And now, as we all step into the next chapter of our lives, I want to share those same words with you. They come from Theodore Roosevelt's speech, The Man in the Arena. Oh, hold on. Okay, sorry. It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the
025doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who hes. Who comes short again and again, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Desert Mountains class of 2025, it's time we enter the arena because we all have a purpose in this world just like wolves have a purpose in their pack. So get out there, find where you are needed most, find where you will thrive, and wherever
026you go, carry this pack with you. Because no matter how far you roam, Desert Mountain will always be a part of you. We started as individuals, we leave as a pack. Congratulations, class of 2025. [Applause] Thank you, Tessa. Please welcome Maximleian Farcus, who will be performing My Way. And so I face the final curtain. My friends, I'll say it clear. I'll state my case of which I'm certain. I live a life that's full. I traveled each and every high and more much more than this. I did it my ways. I've had a [Music] few, but then again, too few. I did what I had to do. I saw it through without exemption. I plan each charted course, each careful step along the way. But more much more than this, I did it my way. Yes,
027there were times I'm sure you knew that I bit off more. But through it [Music] all, I spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way. I've loved I' sharid I find it all [Music] just in a shy way. Oh no. Oh no. Not me. I did it. [Music] For what is a [Music] man? What has he got? If not himself, then he has not heals. [Music] I took the blow and did it my [Music] way. Class of 2025, we did it. Yes. [Applause] Thank you, Max. And now it is time to turn things back over to our principal, Mr. John Andrews, who will present the class of 2025. Thank you, Miss Glicksman, for your leadership and service to Desert Mountains community. And I hope you're okay. It
028looks like didn't sprain your ankle or anything on that trip. That was a great message, too. Thank you for that. Class of 2025, you did it. Congratulations. We're about to hand out your diplomas after my speech. So, if you can just stay put for a little bit longer, we'll take take care of that quickly. All of the hours grinding through homework, completing projects, attending tutoring sessions, hours spent juggling work and practices, rehearsals, hours planning, school events, and volunteering. Tonight is the culmination of all of that work. Your class is special in so many ways, but one of the ways that your class But one of the ways is that your class marks the 30th year of Desert Mountain's existence. 30 years ago, Desert Mountain opened its doors and for the next three decades, its students,
029faculty, and staff built a legacy of excellence. This year's class of 2025 proved itself worthy guardians of this legacy. 23 of you are National Merit finalists or commended scholars. Yes, you you can applause for that. That's the highest in SUSD by far. Nine of you are AP scholars with distinction. 67 students in this class earned the global seal of biiteracy. 26 students earned their fine art or performing arts seal. 19 of you in this class earned athletic scholarships including three to our militarymies. One Yep. Absolutely. One to West Point for football and two to Air Force for swim and dive. In addition to our students attending our esteemed in-state schools and their respective honors colleges, we also have students attending the following renowned out ofstate institutions. Duke, Welssley, George Washington, Emery, University of Chicago, and
030Yale, just to name a few. Absolutely. Congratulations. We also have several students who earned a full ride to ASU for the NextG service score core scholarship. Three students that were selected for the engineering scholarship by winning the EPICS high school competition through robotics. You are also champions. Boys swim and dive won the state championship this year. Congratulations, guys. So did girls tennis and softball, which did it softball did it now three years in a row just this past Monday. Let's give it up for softball. And girls tennis, not to be outdone, were state champs three out of their four years in high school and they won it this year as well. You also made it to the Heralded Open, which is the top eight teams in the state. football for the second year in a
031row. Congratulations on that. Palm and girls swimming also represented our school at the highest levels this year as state runners up. There are two of you in this class who made all state choir and I guess you can guess that one of those was Max right over there and that was an awesome job Max on that song. Many of you are are in our awardwinning band, dance, and theater programs while many others were recognized for your excellence in fine arts. Great job for our fine arts and performing arts departments. Thank you. Not only will you be remembered for your excellence, but also for the moments we all shared. Who will forget JP ever running out of the tunnel with the football team or drinking water out of that rubber chicken on the sidelines of the
032Sha game or Adam cheering us on at the people's PE basketball game. Those were wonderful moments. Yes. On a more serious note, I will never forget the fall assembly where you all sat in silence listening to a presentation on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. We all remember hearing from Noah Ayala's mom at that assembly while she honored her son during her talk to you. Likewise, how many of you were in the audience when Holocaust survivor Esther Bosch came to speak to us this past March? For those of you who were not there, Esther is a 96 year old woman who was sent to Ashwitz with her parents when she was just 16 years old. There, both her mother and father were immediately sent to the gas chambers. She then spent the next year laboring
033in the camp until she was finally freed by American soldiers. She recalled the horrors she endured in the camp and she described how she was able to survive and then move past them in the years to come, eventually marrying and having children and living a life full of love and family. Some of you may remember that the week after her visit, I went on the announcements and I recounted one of the kernels of wisdom that Esther shared with our DM community. and that is that indifference, not hate, is the opposite of love. That was just one small nugget she shared over the course of her entire presentation. There were so many more. And if you were like me, her story, her spirit, and her words in the weeks since her visit have stayed with you.
034In addition to her story, one of the things I found myself reflecting on is how an entire auditorium of high school students sat in wrapped attention listening to a small, frail woman sitting on a blank stage in a wheelchair just simply talking. Her presentation lacked catchy music, fancy slides, high-tech videos, everything that we are told your generation needs in order to be attentive or interested. Yet, as she spoke, you could have heard a pin drop. And it got me thinking. It got me thinking about the power of wisdom. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes something wise. Yet, we seem to know it when we encounter it. When we are presented with wisdom, it silences the noise of life, and it cuts deeply to our core. Not only was Esther's story remarkable, what grabbed
035us all in that audience were her insights about good and evil, triumph over pain, perseverance, forgiveness, happiness, and love. Insights that could only be learned through experience. Once shared, they transcended her story and made each of us contemplate our own lives in connection to these larger truths. I believe we We're all hungry for wisdom, regardless of our age or generation. But we must be humble enough to open ourselves up to it. As you all sit here tonight, you are about to mark a milestone in your lives. You have spent the past 17 or 18 years acquiring knowledge. Some of you maybe more than others. Thank you for laughing. You've uh hopefully learned how to write a persuasive essay, how to solve for a variable or conjugate a verb, when the Declaration of Independence was signed,
036why the Earth revolves around the sun, and the information that you have acquired is important and has hopefully given you a solid foundation for whatever you wish to pursue next. But please always remember, knowledge is not the same as wisdom. Wellultivated knowledge is like a fine-tuned car. It can take you remarkable places, but without wisdom to steer it, it can veer far off course. Wisdom is all around you if you look. It can be found in the helpful guidance of cherished teachers, coaches, family members, neighbors, and friends. It can be found in books and pieces of art that have stood the test of time. It can be found in the remarkable stories of people that you meet along the way. People like Esther Bosch. But here's the key. You have to be willing to hear
037it. Tonight, you are leaving the classrooms of Desert Mountain and taking those next critical steps into adulthood. In the months ahead, many of you will be packing up cars and will point them toward vast, exciting, and uncharted horizons. Hopefully, those cars will be loaded with boxes full of knowledge, fond memories, and maybe even a little wisdom you gained here at Desert Mountain. As you make your preparations, I implore you to contemplate what kind of driver do you want to be. As I close tonight, class of 2025, I know I speak for the faculty and staff of Desert Mountain when I say it has been an honor and a privilege to share your lives these past four years. Our doors will always be open to you. And as you pop those cars into gear and begin
038to drive, may you not only continue to be collectors of knowledge, but also open yourselves up to being seekers of wisdom. Thank you. [Applause] All right, who's ready to graduate? Now, as we begin the roll call, I'd like to remind the graduates and guests that every family would like to hear their graduates name announced. Please be courteous and remain seated until the end of the ceremony. Miss Sedaris and Miss Josley, please allow the graduates to come forward.
