My name is Franciscao and as a trustee for the board of education, it is my absolute honor to welcome you all to today's ceremony. Before we begin, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has joined us to celebrate these remarkable students. To the family members and friends here today, thank you for your endless love and unwavering support. to our dedicated faculty, staff, and administration here at Comor High School. Thank you for your guidance, mentorship, and for creating an environment where all students could truly thrive. This milestone belongs to all of us and all of you, too. Looking out at all of you today, I am overwhelmed with pride. Your academic success

017is certainly worth celebrating. But what truly makes this group special is that your recognition isn't just about what you learned in the classroom. It's about who you are. You have proven that you possess the four pillars of the National Honor Society. Scholarship, leadership, character, and service. That fourth pillar, service, is perhaps the most vital. It's the heartbeat of this organization and the heartbeat of our comm community. You see, academic intelligence opens doors. We all agree to that. But a commitment to serving others open hearts. Throughout your time here, you're giving your time without expecting anything in return. You learn that true leadership isn't about being in charge. It is about taking care of the people around you and lifting them up. You demonstrated that one person's willingness to help can create a ripple effect that

018changes a whole community. As you prepare to take your next steps in life, I challenge you to take that very same spirit of service and scale it up. The world needs your intelligence, your empathy, and your drive. Do not just settle for success. Use your talents to be a force for good. Ask the tough questions. Stand for the vulnerable. And dedicate yourselves to making the world a more inclusive and compassionate place. You have already proven that you have what it takes to achieve greatness right here at Kamswag. Now, I challenge you to take that true Spartan spirit and go out and change the world. Congratulations, inductees. We are so incredibly proud of you. Now, before everyone heads out to celebrate this incredible milestone, I have one final quick community request for the adults and illegible

019voters in the room. If you haven't done so already, please make sure to stop by the gymnasium right across the hallway and cast your vote for the Comwark School District budget vote and trustee election and support the continued success of our schools and students. Thank you all and have a wonderful rest of your day celebrating our Spartans. Done. That concludes our ceremony today. Let's give our students one more round of applause. We would like to invite all students and all families to our courtyard for a celebratory brunch. Um, so the courtyard is if we exit through the back doors here and we make a right towards the main office, um, our security will guide to the, uh, courtyard. Um, so thank you all for coming and I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day. Thank

020you.
