“Sitting here right now is a big accomplishment for each and every one of us,” expressed VHS senior Desi Suares, who was an early graduate and one of two students to speak at the ceremony. “We all worked so hard throughout our days of high school. We’ve gone through many difficult times, and still made it through. Being here today we represent the characteristics of being ambitious, confident, and responsible.”
