Graduation was held at Santander Arena in Reading this year due to Memorial Stadium being under repair. Speakers encouraged students to both enjoy and shape their future. Here are some quotes from the evening’s speeches:

Be the agent of change rather than the product of change. – Principal Dr. Brett Cooper

Be a good citizen, no matter what you do.  — Acting Superintendent David Krem

Be a lifelong learner who adapts to change. – School Board Vice President Steve Elsier

While the end goal matters, so do the small moments. — Salutatorian Hallie Paules

When I look into the crowd, I see a group who are more than just students. We are leaders. — Senior Class President Sam Longacre
