Please remain standing until the color guard leaves the floor. >> [singing] >> Spain tend the praise. and the [singing] home of the brave. [cheering] [applause] Please be seated. Class of 2026, four years ago, I shared the first day of high school with you. I got lost in the hallways, tried to learn teachers names, felt inspired by the traditions of this school, and made a
011commitment to be a part of the diamond community. As a new administrator, I felt the trepidation and hope of an uncertain future full of possibility, likely similar to the feelings you had as freshmen. In many ways, our paths mirrored each other. You've grown from nervous freshmen into confident seniors, and I've grown from a new administrator in charge of discipline into your head principal. I remember spending a lot of time with you and your parents discussing whose wonderfully those wonderfully immature freshman decisions, the drama that accompanies changing friendships and new relationships, the struggle to adapt and adjust to the academic expectations of high school without the safety nets of middle school. My first year was marked by my own steep learning curve, mastering the bell schedule, understanding the complexities of high school from a new perspective,
012and simply finding the right way to support the diamond community. Much like your first year of high school, my first year as an administrator was all about adapting and making connections and earning my place in the traditions at Diamond. As we navigated sophomore year, we began to find our stride. You were getting serious about academics, joining clubs, and moving past the initial awkwardness. For me, that meant tackling schoolwide initiatives with a bit more confidence, knowing the building, and starting to truly understand the rhythm of Diamond. It was the year of establishing our identities and interests. When I took over as head principal two years in, it felt a lot like becoming an upper classman. Suddenly, the big responsibilities fall squarely on your shoulders. And you know the traditions, but you realize you're the one setting
013the example. Now, as juniors, we made a critical pivot, laying the foundation for the future, built on our shared values of respect, integrity, and community. We were building a bridge from where we stood to where we wanted to be. And now here we stand at the peak of senior year, the moment of accomplishment, but also a moment of transition. For you, it's the culmination of everything. The final projects, the senior traditions, the goodbyes. For me, it's the pride of seeing you all walk across this stage, ready to embark on your next great adventure, knowing that the foundation we built here together is solid. The growth we shared, the journey from nervous newcomers to seasoned veterans has prepared us both for success. You leave here armed with knowledge, resilience, and the unshakable spirit of a lynx.
014I continue here equipped with the experience of leading this exceptional graduating class to this moment. In fact, I'd like to capture this moment by starting my own tradition of taking a graduating class selfie. This is the technology of an adult. Ready? [applause] Thank you. Congratulations, class of 2026. go confidently into your future and know that you will always be a part of the story of Diamond High School. Thank you. Now, please welcome to the podium our senior class president, Mora Neville. [cheering and applause] Welcome Diamond graduates, families, and friends. Welcome everyone to Diamond's 59th commencement. I would like to recognize and ask to the podium Diamond's Val Victorian Grace Petru. >> I have props. All right. Good evening everyone. Now that I have everyone's attention, let's do some calculus. All right. Let's say we have
015a function of x = 3x 4. The first thing we're going to do is multiply our exponent by the coefficient in front of the variable. Then we're going to subtract one from our exponent. Now we have f prime of x = 12 x 3r. I just found the derivative. If that means nothing to you, that's okay. you still made it here. Which means you've been solving problems much harder than that. Because in math, the derivative is simply the rate of change. It measures how something is growing, shifting, or evolving. And right now, standing here together, we're at a point in our lives where that change feels exponential, like a sudden spike in a graph. Everything is about to move faster. There's another definition of derivative. In the writing world, it means sounding unoriginal, something that
016is repetitive of a reference or itself. And if we're being honest, high school has had its fair share of that. Same routines, same assignments, same 8:45 a.m. announcement that reminds our freshly woken, irritable selves to stay golden. But the people sitting here today, we're not all the same. Personally, my story with all of you started four years ago when I moved here from Texas at the start of high school. I had to adjust to new weather, new people, and new experiences. But over time, this city and the people in it began to feel like home. Not everyone started in the same place. Not everyone had the same opportunities or the same obstacles. Some of us are headed to college, some to jobs, the military or past we're still trying to figure out. So even if
017some parts of life felt a little derivative or unoriginal, your story isn't. To derive also means to come from a source. In other words, to be shaped by what came before you. And when I think about these past four years, I realize how much of who I am was shaped right here, by this place, by all of you. And as an ode to the two people I'm quite literally from, I'd like to thank my parents. Mom, Dad, I am so grateful to have you two as my foundation and for helping shape who I am. Everything in my person, my values, determination, sense of humor is derived from you. And to my class, as we move forward, life is going to keep changing, maybe faster than we expect. But if there's one thing we've proven, it's
018that we know how to grow through it. So wherever you go next, don't just follow what's already been done. Be something that reflects where you came from, but is also something entirely your own. Because in the end, your life won't be defined by any single moment, but by your rate of change, what you choose to become, and everything you continue to derive from along the way. Thank you. [applause] >> [cheering] >> Thank you, Grace. I am pleased to introduce the honors speaker who was selected by the senior class, Andy Song. [cheering] [applause] >> Good evening, Diamond High School class of 2026. I am honored to speak at your graduation ceremony. Wait, hold up. Your graduation, not mine. Yeah, about that. There's a very real chance that I might not graduate. Not because of grades, not
019because I did anything illegal, even though some of my friends, you know, call me the bad boy of diamond. You know who you are out there. Cade, Luke, and Avery. The real reason I might not graduate is because of a quarter credit of PE. I was supposed to get a waiver through track. Sounds easy, right? There's just one rule. Attend at least 75% of the practices. Excused absence doesn't matter. Injured, doesn't matter. senior with a chaotic schedule definitely doesn't matter. Last month, my dad reminded me of my attendance for track. It was at 40%. And at that moment, I realized something terrifying. I could get into college and still not graduate high school. That's a very awkward email to send. Hi, Harvard. Quick update. I can't come because I didn't run enough laps. My coach
020was crystal clear. A rule is a rule. So, my family went into full emergency mode. My dad canceled anything that conflicted with track. Violin lessons gone. Free college visits gone. And yes, they were free. And honestly, I think my dad would have canceled Thanksgiving if it got in the way. So my mom printed out my track schedule, taped it to the wall, and started crossing off each practice like we were going to launch a rocket. And every afternoon, there I was on the track running for my diploma and my dream school. All of this wouldn't have happened if I all of this happened because I made one simple mistake. I thought it would be easy. I wasn't prepared. And that's what I want to leave with you today. Be prepared. Don't assume things will work
021out. Prepare like they won't. Because sometimes it's not the big things that stop you. It's the small, ridiculous, completely unexpected things like one more missed track practice. In life, we prepare all the time. We just don't notice it anymore. We fasten seat belts in case of a crash. We study before tests. But as we leave high school, being prepared matters more than ever. Because out there, the world is different. People won't remind you. No one will protect you the way your parents did. You have to do that yourself because in the end you can't control what's coming but you can choose to be prepared. And one last thing, there's a saying, when a child travels a thousand miles, a mother's worry travels with them. So wherever you go next, call your parents, the people you
022love. Dad, I'm okay. I miss you, Mom. because beside you every step of the way, they were the ones making sure you didn't fall. And as we leave today, being prepared isn't just about our future. It's about honoring everything they've done to get us here. So, thank them. And as for me, tomorrow you'll find me on the track finishing that last bit of PE credit, but this time fully prepared. Thank you and congratulations, class of 2026. [applause] Thank you, Andy. It is now my honor to introduce the senior speaker who was also selected by the senior class, Colton Hodgej. [applause] >> Good evening everyone, family, friends, faculty, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2026. One thing I've noticed here at my time at Diamond is that there's one thing all of us have in
023common. We are not the same person that we first were when we walked into high school. We thought we had everything figured out, or at least we thought we had time to figure everything out. But somewhere along the way, things changed. Plans changed, friendships changed, priorities changed, and sometimes things didn't go the way we expected. We all face setbacks, moments where we failed the test we studied for or lost something we cared about, or felt like we were falling behind. And in those moments, it's easy to think that setbacks define us. But looking back, they don't because those challenges, the late nights, and the stress didn't stop us. They shaped us. They taught us to be tough, even when we didn't realize it at the time. They showed us that progress isn't always a straight
024line. And that most importantly, they proved that we are capable of getting back up. High school wasn't perfect. It wasn't always easy, but that's the point. Because life after this won't be perfect either. There'll be more change, more challenges, and more moments where things don't go according to plan. If there's anything that we can take away from our time at here, it's that we've already learned how to handle that. So, as we leave here today, I don't think the goal is to have everything figured out. The goal is to be ready to keep growing, to take risks, to accept that setbacks will happen, but they don't get the final set. Because in the end, it's not the challenges that define us. It's how we respond to them. And if the past four years have shown
025us anything, it's that we are ready. Thank you and congratulations to the class of 2026. [applause] The DHS combined choirs under the direction of Michaela Forbes will be singing Count the Stars by Andy Beck accompanied by Janet Carr Campbell. I will count the stars. Search I'll [singing] count the stars. I'll count the We are We were Sh. [music] [singing] Count the stars. [music] I will [singing] [music] cross the ocean. I will [singing] watch the snow. I will even count the stars. I'll [singing] count the stars. Count the stor. [applause] Thank you, Miss Forbes. I am proud to introduce the faculty speaker selected by the senior class as they take one last opportunity to share their wit, wisdom, and words with the class of 2026. Welcome, Cat Walker. [applause] Good evening. I would like to thank
026the family and friends gathered here today for trusting us with your students. Diamond's graduating class of 2026 is full of incredible individuals and I was lucky to have spent the last four years with them. I'm heartbroken to be leaving Diamond after 20 years of teaching in Alaska, but it is an honor to be graduating with this group today. Astronaut Christina Cook from the recent Aremis 2 mission around the moon defined a crew as a group of inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked, sharing a common purpose, sacrifice, and accountability. She added that a crew is a group that it is in it all the time, no matter what, that is working together every minute with the same purpose. All of you graduating today have been working towards this moment as a crew along with everyone here supporting you.
027Your crew went through some wild experiences during your last 13 years together at school. Many of you were in the fifth grade and about to start your school day when an earthquake that was at least a six or seven hit and lasted almost a minute. That earthquake knocked most of the books off the Diamond Library shelves, broke pipes, and closed the school for two weeks. In your sixth grade year, they shut down schools for the pandemic, and we went online until the end of your seventh grade year. You persevered through that and so much else. And we are so lucky you decided to come back. During your time at Diamond, you have accomplished so much. Just yesterday, some of you finished up our last remote beach cleanup. And our total over the last four years
028is 1,744 pounds of debris from beaches near Whittier. The last 200 pounds are on the floor of my classroom right now. That is just a small part of this crew's accomplishments. After her trip around the moon, Christina Cook's message to us regarding our shared responsibility was, "Planet Earth, you are a crew." And that is the message I'd love to you to take away from Diamond with you. Be kind. Be open to learning new things. And make the world a better place in whatever way you are able. You are loved. I couldn't a crew I'd be more proud to be finishing my time at Diamond with. We will forever be Golden Links. [applause] Thank you, Miss Walker. It is my pleasure to turn the microphone over to Diamond High School principal, Miss Whitney Datri, for the
029presentation of the class of 2026. >> [cheering] [applause] >> Will the members of the class of 2026 please rise? [cheering] [applause and cheering] >> Dr. Mr. Bryant, the records of each student present have been examined and been found to have met the credit criteria for graduation from the Anchorage School District. It is my honor to present to you the Diamond High School class of 2026. [cheering] [applause] On behalf of the Anchorage School District administration, it is my sincere pleasure to accept the class of 2026 of Diamond High School. Board President Carl Jacobs, may I present to you the class of 2026 of Diamond High School. [cheering] >> On behalf of the Anchorage School District School Board, I accept the class of the 2026 class of Diamond High School. [applause] Everyone may now be seated. As
030we begin roll call, we ask all the families and friends present today to please help us make the ceremony special for every student from the first name called to the last. We ask that you please keep the applause enthusiastic but brief. As each member is called, every graduate deserves their moment in today's ceremony.
