[Music] All [Music] s for the land of [Music] the Thank you. You may be seated. Welcome aboard Cedar Valley Airlines Flight 521. We welcome you all to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2025. We would like to give special thanks to Superintendent Shane Farnsworth, Board of Education President Julie King, Executive Director of Educational Opportunity and Student Support, Dr. Anelise Ruiz, and Administrator of Secondary Schools, Doug Webb. We would also like to thank our Cedar Valley High School administration, Courtney Johnson, Scott Mansfield, Kenyan Christian, Bill Cyber, Colin Gill, Curtis Twitchell, and Derek Reynolds. We would also like to recognize Mr. Matt Ekinstam, who is retiring
003from being an educator for 23 years of teaching. Thank you, Mr. Ekinstein. It is my great privilege to recognize the other individuals with me today. First, the student council seniors as well as those who have been chosen to speak at graduation. Second, can we please have our aviator scholars who represent the top 10% of our graduating class stand? We'd also like to have our students who earned an associates degree, a general elective certificate from UVU, and our first ever at Cedar Valley and in the state associates in aviator science degree. Please stand. Congratulations to all of you for such outstanding achievements. You may be seated. When I was 8 years old, a beautiful picture was taken of me. My family took one look at the picture and decided it looked like a campaign poster. My
004brother and sister added an American flag and a slogan which said, "Do what you can." Here is that picture. As you can tell, it's quite inspiring. And ever since, this has become a catchy slogan for my family. Have a difficult assignment? Do what you can. Need to have a hard conversation? Do what you can. You're asked to speak at graduation, do what you can. I've come to learn that I can do a lot. I thought about what I would do. I thought about what I would say in this exact moment, in this exact place. And for over a year now, this phrase has come to my mind over and over. We've spent the last 13 years of our lives learning and growing into the adults we're meant to be. We've had the privilege of being
005taught by mentors and by the best educators. We've been given the opportunity to explore different interests, learn skills, and been guided as we figure out who we are and the paths we would like to take. And while the plane is critical to the success of any flight, it's ultimately the pilot who gets the plane to safety. We can do anything. We've accomplished so much this year as teams and as individuals. And we've learned we can do hard things. Do do what you can. Take all the learning and experiences and lessons and relationships and growth. And do whatever your future holds for you. Work hard and do what you can to be the best version of yourself. Whether that's going on a mission or going to college to be a doctor, teacher, or doing a trade.
006Do what you can and continue trying. Today is a very significant day for our future. High school has shown us we can do hard things and we have gained amazing skills. Take everything you've learned through school and friendships and move forward. Welcome to graduation, class of 2025. [Applause] Parents are the people who raise us, love us, and teach us. A parent doesn't have to be someone who gave birth to you. It can be a mom or dad or any other adult who has helped raise and support you. But what all parents have in common is that they love their child enough to sacrifice for them. Every graduate in this room was once a baby who kept someone awake at night. Our parents sacrificed their comfort, time, and worries throughout our childhoods. They calmed our fears
007and kissed our boo boos. As we grew older, we gave them fears as we got behind the wheel for the first time, went on our first dates, and turned in our assignments one minute before they were due. We all know those gray hairs were really our fault. But parenting is a lot more than that. It's the way you supported and championed us as we had those experiences. It's the way that you never missed a game or performance. It's the way you made sure we had a dress for every dance and made us dinner even when we refused to eat. You continually sacrificed for us even when we were difficult to love. When you become a parent, suddenly your own dreams change into someone else's dreams coming true. Every kid here is stamped by the mark
008of their parents. And this graduating class is full of awesome people who are accomplished, talented, goal oriented, artistic, athletic, driven, smart, and most importantly, kind. Parents, I've been privileged to go to four years of school with your wonderful kids who are all mirrors of the values they learned at home. So, thank you to my parents and thank you to the parents of the class of 2025 for your sacrifices. They are so readily apparent when you look at the amazing kids you've raised. kids who are today stepping into adulthood because they have the best examples of how to become adults. I speak for all of us in the class of 2025 when I say thank you parents. We love you and we wouldn't be here today without you. We promise to come home once in a
009while to wash our laundry and give you a big hug. [Music] Congratulations everyone. We made it. We achieved something great. After today, the senior class of 2025 will go on to make our own way and enter the real adult world. It's going to be a crazy takeoff. But we don't have to just ride in the plane. We can take charge and fly the plane. Now, Fiverr Fighting has an interesting take on flying I'd like to share. In their song Superman, it says, "I can't stand to fly. I'm not that naive. I'm just out to find the better part of me." This line pretty much sums up the anxiety of leaving the position of being a passenger in life. We are searching for the better part of me. That can be scary and some of us
010may not want to fly. But I know a little secret. We all know how to fly. As children, we had dreams in our sleep of flying like Superman. Now, some of us literally know how to fly a plane. Others know how to fly through the air by jumping and doing flips. Others of us soar through the clouds with our voices, our words, or our dreams. One of my dreams is to change people's lives through music. This is not an easy dream to accomplish. First, I have to make music well. Then, I have to have an audience that will actually listen. I've pursued my dream by being in musicals, orchestras, choirs, and competitions. I have to practice and practice, audition over and over again, receiving no after no until finally I get a yes. Other than
011performing to reach people through music, I want to become a music therapist. But as I move forward on my journey, I continually doubt, feel pressured to perform, and fail. But this dream is worth enough to me to keep singing, failing, learning, and succeeding. If I hadn't taken chances, I wouldn't be on my way to study music at USU with a vocal scholarship. I wouldn't have learned from my failures and I wouldn't be proud of myself and what I have accomplished. Life is so much better when you fly in your own cockpit instead of watching someone else fly your plane. Go chase your dreams. Soar above the fears and the noise that this crazy adult world will throw at you and take control of your plane. We will now have the Cedar Valley Wind Symphony play
012Nostalgia by Rosano Galante. [Applause] [Music] Are you happy? Come here. [Music] She came. [Music] [Applause] [Music] What's that? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Just feel [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Glory. [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] We say thank you to the lunch ladies who provided us with nourishment for our bodies and our minds. We are grateful for both the food and the opportunity to escape our classes and relax. We say thank you to the janitors. From being on student council, I've been able to see a fraction of the messes they've had to clean up for us students, and I'm astounding. From the stadium to the classrooms to the many, many bathrooms you had to clean. We are grateful. We say thank you to our counselors, the ones who gave us the fun classes, the ones who showed
013us how to succeed in high school and even beyond. The ones who helped us work out our problems, the ones who talked to us when we needed them. We say thank you to every coach and every adviser who ran the clubs and sports at school. You helped us improve ourselves and to enjoy high school. I know this year wouldn't have been as fun as without you guys. We say thank you to the admin. Nothing would have happened without you. We wouldn't have our dances. We wouldn't have our sports. We wouldn't have had our school without you. We say thank you to the teachers. You had to deal with us every single day. You dealt with our constant questions, our talking in class, our late assignments, our last minute begging, our sleing, our tardiness, our complaining.
014You dealt with so much and you still helped us learn and grow. You didn't give up on us. Seniors, I want you to realize how much help you have received while you were here at school. How many people cared for you and pushed you to succeed. You did not get here alone. Please take time to say thank you to those who helped you along the way. I know I've already said it, but I can't say it enough. Thank you. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You know, it was a long way to get here. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thinking, "Oh my, I can't believe that I did it. It felt like a lot to get here from Venezuela." And now it's a dream come true because we're sober and we are
015the survivors. It felt so good to have a child. All my life, people told me how to be the best of myself, how to be the best pilot. All because I was the first, the first daughter, the first niece, the first granddaughter. And now I'm the first to graduate from high school in United States in my family. I represent all my family, but I'm also will be the first that will go on a mission, the first to go to college. So for me, for us, this is not only the in one chapter but the beginning of another. But I want you to know that I didn't get here alone. There were many people that accompany me my journey and told me how to fly including my family, my close friends, my teachers, including Miss Velasco
016and Mr. Anderson who made me feel welcome and happy every day at school and my counselor, Miss Black, who always helped me with all my questions. But I especially want to thank three special people in my life. My sister who told me to appreciate the efforts and sacrifice my mother made for me. My mother who not only did her best to protect us but has also been my best friend and the person who knows me best. And last but not least, my father who was always there when I needed him the most, who always support and care for me and who will always carry on my heart no matter how much time passes. All these people help me to get on board and learn to fly my own plane because what is good the most
017sophisticated airplane if you don't know how to fly it? Because it's not the plane, it is the pilots. and I think we are ready to be great pilots. So, congratulations on graduation class 2025. I wish each and every one of you the best of luck. Thank you. I have the privilege to share Cedar Valley's accomplishments over this past year. I ask that you please hold your applause until I finish acknowledging all of our amazing accomplishments. Our cheer team had a phenomenal season winning the state 5A co-ed cheer championship. They went on to become national champions in the varsity band chant division. Both the boys and girls cross country qualified for state and one of our own seniors was recruited to compete at the Salt Lake Community College. The drill team had a great season winning
018first overall at the Rocky Mountain Invitational. They finished out their season with a second in region and fifth overall at state finals. This year, our Christmas in the Valley teleathon allowed us to help multiple families in our community for the holiday season. And our Makea-Wish campaign partnered with our Wish Kid from Eagle Mountain to raise much needed funds. It was another historic season for both our girls and boys rescue teams. Our girls took second in state with a program record of 10 state places and two champions. Our boys put a program record of three individual individuals on the state podium. Both chamber and concert choir have performed at state level and received superior ratings. Several students received superior ratings at state solo and ensemble. In addition, all four choirs received straight superiors at the music
019in the parks event. Dance company placed in the top 10 at the Shakespeare Festival, hosted this year's district dance concert, and performed at the multiple events throughout the state. The boys tennis team made great strides as they endured many challenges. Sorry. This season was the first that had every single varsity player qualify for the state playin tournament in the history of Cedar Valley. The boys golf team also had their best year in school history, making it to the final day of the state championship, placing eight. The girls golf team had a great year. They were competitive in region where they improved by an average of 25 strokes per tournament. Boys volleyball had an incredible year. The varsity team capped off the regular season, ranked seventh in the state, earning a first round buy in the
020state tournament. They not only won two tournaments, but also defeated multiple top tier opponents in this state. The boys basketball team wrapped up an exciting and hard-fought season filled with growth, resilience, and memorable moments. Highlights included key wins against tough rivals, standout individual performances, and strong showings in tournament play. The 2024 2025 season was nothing short of historic for the girls basketball team. In a year marked by determination, grit, and growth, this group of athletes didn't just compete. They made history. Advancing further in postseason play than any basketball team in Cedar Valley history. The Lady Aviators soar to new heights and set a powerful president for the program's future. The ballroom program had another unprecedented and historic year. The varsity team dominated at every local and regional competition, securing a total of eight state championships
021along with the division 2 national lat championship and barformation championship. The varsity team also won the BYU team match, the state team match, and our JB team won a division 2 state team match. Our boys and girls powerlifting team absolutely dominated at the state competition. The boys powerlifting team took sixth, and the boys Olympic team took fifth. The girls Olympic team took third place and the girls powerlifting team took first place, making them state champions. The team also took home seven individual state champion titles. The girls softball team had an awesome season. They went up against tough opponents and dominated on the field. The track and field team had another historic year. The girls track and field team became the region seven champions. They had multiple state placers and broke many school records. Our theme
022this year is it's not the plane, it's the pilot. The last four years of high school we have learned to prepare ourselves to fly. As we embark on this new adventure, let us remember the lessons we have learned, the fresh friendships we have forged, and the experiences that have shaped us into the individuals we are today. We have learned how to fly through turbulence. And because of it, we can face our next steps with courage. Don't be afraid to fall. After all, you are an aviator. We will now have the Cedar Valley Choir and Win Symphony play homeward bound arranged by Grant Carrick. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Music] When the [Music] moon single [Music] When it lost it, I'll be home [Music] when the me [Music] returning with your [Music] return. I'll stop and turn. And
023the way will set me racing as my [Music] journey to the take me to the set You fly [Music] my gloring. [Music] again. Wow. In martial arts, there's a quote that says, "Champions don't give up, they turn it up." I want to keep the same phrase, but switch one of the words to, "Seniors don't give up. They turn it up." From tests to assignments, we have conquered all. We have faced multiple trials, but finally, we are at the finish line and about to cross. We don't know what it's going to look like years down the road, but we can draw from our experiences here to help guide us to our future. Cedar Valley will always be a part of us and we can look back to what we left behind. After reflecting on this idea,
024our students council seniors decided on a symbol that would inspire future generations. We wanted our senior gift to bring together future students and serve as a reminder of who they are as aviators. After some deliberation, we chose to display our school fight song on an artistic plaque that'll be displayed in our school office. We would like to thank our Cedar Valley welding department and Miss Cooper for helping up helping us create this sign of aviator pride. This will foster increased unity among future students as they can gain a deeper sense of connection and raise their school spirits. A well-known verse from Green Day's song, Good Riddance quotes, "It's something unpredictable, but in the end, it's right. We've reached the end of our journey here in high school, and now we're at another fork in the
025road, giving us a choice as to where we will go in our lives." To future aviators who will glance upon this sign, we hope they will better understand the fight song and use it as a symbol of courage, inclusion, and recognition. Congratulations to our class of 2025. We're thankful it's over, but we're sad to see it go. Here's to our high school experiences and the memories we made along the way. [Applause] Aviators, today we celebrate the incredible accomplishments of the class of 2025. $13.3 million in scholarships earned right here. It's pretty awesome. 8,61 Utah Valley University credits completed, which represents 3 million7.76 million in tuition savings. As mentioned before, we have the first three aviation science associates degree earned all on campus. First of the state probably of the nation. We have 40 students that
026earned their associates degree on campus. Out of those 40 students that are in the program, we failed to put in one student. I'd like to give a shout out to Carly Andrews. We have nine students who earned their general education certificate. And finally, and something that's a little emotional and I'm going to keep it together this time, but three of our graduates are are preparing to serve our country in the armed [Applause] forces. I would like to take this time now to recognize our aviator scholars sitting behind me on that first row in the back. Stand up if you will. They show what's possible. I'd like to take a moment to share a story, a defining moment that happened in my life. But I think there's a message behind it. I was just about your
027age. It was the summer of my junior year. My flight instructor had me pull up to the the flight school and he said, "Courtney, I want you to go back out there and do three touchand goes. You are cleared for your solo." As I took off runway 13 in Provo, I realized I was by myself. He wasn't there. Fred wasn't there to help me get back down. And I just started screaming. And I couldn't believe it that I finally made that. And something that I learned from that flight and many others has been pretty instrumental in my life. And I'd like to share those with you. And I'm going to narrow it down to three takeaways. One, adapt to the unexpected. As a pilot, sometimes you'll be reict revectorred to a different airport. Sometimes you
028encounter bad weather. Now, as you as graduates in life, you're going to encounter things that are not fun, that are not easy. But I just want you to remember what matters most is how you respond to all of these different things that will happen to every single one of you. There's not a single one of you that are going to not have something discouraging or bad that will happen to you, but how you respond is everything. And our superintendent's here. He's talked to us about E plus R equals O. It was also one of our first jet talks in 2019. And it's the event plus your response equals your out your outcome every single time. The next thing I'd like you to think about is small adjustments make big differences. As a pilot, if you're
029off your course just by a one or two degrees in time, you'll end up at a completely different destination. The same thing goes for you, which is true in your life. The small everyday choices that you make will determine what kind of an outcome you have. Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent, intentional actions. They will shape your future. Point number three, trust and choose the right path. Steve Jobs said, "You can connect the dots moving forward." But wait, you can't connect the dots moving forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. Likewise, Seren Kerkard wrote, "Life must be lived forward, but it can only be understood looking backwards." So, in those moments when the path isn't clear or you're tempted and you'll have people trying to get you to do things that you know
030you should not do that your parents taught you otherwise, trust that the right choice will always become meaningful to you. And those dots will connect. Aviators, there's an old saying and it reminds us to fly safe. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots. But today, I'm going to tell you something otherwise. I want you to be bold. I want you to be bold pilots. Chase those dreams. Chart your own course. Respond with integrity. Adjust when needed. And always trust that even when the skies are uncertain, you are capable of navigating them. Now take those controls, throttle up, and go create a future that only you can fly. And with tradition, I always end with a poem. And it all kind of comes together. It's not the
031plane, it's the pilot. The engine hums, the runway lies wide. A Cedar Valley aviator takes their stride. With eyes ahead and purpose tight, your you grip the yoke. You own the flight. It's not the plane that finds the skies, but the heart that dares the mind that tries. Through wind and change, through doubt and height, you are the one who makes it right. Aviators rise when skies turn gray. They course correct. They find their way. Not made by wings or weather's grace, but by the grit they bring to every place. You've flown the You've flown through test, through plans that bent, through late night hours and energy spent. Yet still you soar. Your course is set. And your best, believe me, has not happened yet. So when the world feels steep or wide, recall your
032roots, your Cedar Valley pride. Not the metal, not the miles, but your steady hand and inner style. Because when life lifts you from its from this land, it won't be luck. It will be planned. You're not just passengers in this flight. You are the pilots. You are the light. Class of 2025, you are ready. And never forget, it's not the plane, it's the pilot. Alpine School District board member Representative Julie King, I certify that all graduates have completed all of the all of the requirements set forth by Alpine School District and the board of education to graduate at this commencement. Congratulations, Cedar Valley Aviators. The skies are yours. Go take the flight. Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president, stated, "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
033stumbles, or where their doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who's 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 because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds. Who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, 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. Graduates, dare to fail. Dare to fall short. Dare to grow and change and learn. Dare to be
034kind and grateful. Choose to dare and live your life daring greatly. Mrs. Courtney Johnson, on behalf of the Alpine School District Board of Education, I accept these graduates and congratulate the Cedar Valley High School class of 2025. [Applause] Yeah. Come on.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] My name is Cecilia. Ia El My name is Meia Rule. Hi, I'm Ellie Reese. SA Daily Alyssa G. I'm a senior. [Music] And what is one piece of advice you give to your freshman self? Um, reach out. Um, when you see someone by themselves trying to be their friend because you don't know what they're going through and it might change their day or life, enjoy it because it goes by in a flash. And a lot of my friends, you know, are all going different ways. So I think I would have told myself to enjoy it more and not put so much
050value on a just take a step back and look at the bigger picture and don't overthink everything because you spend more time worrying about stuff than actually doing stuff and you just you don't make memories that way and you don't have fun that way and you don't grow that way. I would tell my freshman self to just have fun like branch out go to all the activities be involved and just enjoy your time. it's not so scary and that everything's going to be okay. Don't worry so much. Like, relax a little bit because you're going to be fine. Everything always works out in the end. Whether it's like the way that you intended it to work out or a completely different way, it's going to work out and it's going to be fine and you're
051going to be okay. Uh my favorite memory in the past four years would probably just being involved in extracurriculars like the sports teams like soccer and track and just making new friendships and having fun with them. Just hanging out with my friends. That's like the best part of high school, I think. Just getting closer with my friends and just finding my friends. [Music] There we go. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Triple back flip. [Music] probably joining the cross country and track team. I made all of my friends through that. So, getting involved with uh school curriculars and just making new friends. I want you. All I can say is that all those things are going down. Ready? 3 2 1 go. [Music] I think the last thing I would say is just don't be afraid to go
052out of your comfort zone to talk to someone new. And don't be afraid to do something that scares you to death cuz it's always worth it. When my dad was in college, he saw somebody had like carved into one of the chairs at school. For us, these are the days. And I love that cuz it's kind of like the Andy from the office quote that everybody knows, but like a little different. For us, these are the days. So, it's like try and enjoy the moments that you're in now cuz you're not going to have them forever. So this time in high school, like it goes by so quickly. So just try and be in the moment, have fun, and don't worry about embarrassing yourself cuz nobody remembers. And even if everybody remembers, you'll laugh about
053it eventually. So relax. Honestly, one that stuck out to me was don't stress. It'll all work out because that's just the most like carrying core I can think of that got me through all four years. Be adventurous. Find what you like and pursue it. Nobody should be intimidated from high school because we're all going through it together. Like, we're all freshman to seniors together. We're all figuring it out at the same time. So, there's nothing to be intimidated about. [Music] video. No. Hold on. Who else do you have? Who [Music] else? Thunder. I just [Music] Heat up here.
