Countdown to the First Day of School!
Washington District Elementary - Happy2014 Washington & Lee High School Graduation
Clear blue skies greeted the class of 2014 of Washington and Lee High School 92 graduates. As proud parents and cheering friends set the tone for the yearly event, the focus on this year’s ceremony was student accomplishment. Master of Ceremonies, Michael Hurdle, Interim Principal, reminded the students how far they have come and how far they can go. Instead of a guest speaker this year, the five top graduates spoke to their peers. Mary Sisson (5), Gloria Wyszynski (4), John Hemenway (3), and Salutatorian Christian Tinsley and Valedictorian Callie Morgan relegated the audience with wise words of wisdom and funny stories and memories of their school experience. Each was awarded with raucous applause for their efforts.
Mr. Hurdle recognized the top ten students with a brief summary of their achievements and who most inspired their success. Class valedictorian was Callie Morgan and salutatorian was Christian Tinsley. Rounding out the top ten were John Hemenway (3), Gloria Wyszynski (4), Mary Sisson (5), Chiquita DeJesus (6), James Ficklin (7), Milan Bullock (8), Manoa Wurth (9) and Harden “Baine” Self (10).
