Somethings Remain Constant

Hard work paves the way to success. Focusing on the future and working in the present insures positive outcomes.
I found it interesting to read the topics for the graduation speakers in the first class of the new WHS.
Diane Hagaman questions, "are you an Optimist or a Pessimist?"
Linda Rainey challenges her fellow students to "Dare to be Different."
Mike Sink, top honor graduate, presided over the graduation ceremonies and introduced his theme: "Nothing Old Under the Sun".
