GARRETT â Several speakers challenged Garrett graduates to make every moment count as they embark on their futures.
In a graduation ceremony Friday night, 144 seniors received diplomas. Garrettâs high school band and concert choir performed several musical selections.
Superintendent Tonya Weaver presented diplomas, and Ryan Hathaway and Shannon Harman presented roses to the seniors.
Class president Ryan DePew reminded his classmates to cherish what they have accomplished.
âThat diploma is more than just a piece of paper,â he said. âIt is a combination of hard work, dedication, procrastination, failures, victories, sweat, tears and so much more.
âWhen you walk across that stage, do so with confidence and pride, because every single one of you deserves it. As Mackelmore sings, âThis is the moment, tonight is the night, we put our hands up like the ceiling cannot hold us.â
