The Vanguard School’s senior class of 2010 had their graduation ceremonies on Friday, May 28, on the Vanguard campus. Families, friends, staff, and students watched as 40 seniors earned their high school diplomas and began the next chapter in their lives.
Class President Emily Jensen (Texas) welcomed the guests of the graduating students, who represented 13 states and 9 countries. There were five seniors who spoke at graduation about the difficult time they had experienced in school before coming to Vanguard. They also told of their plans to go on to college, after gaining confidence and knowledge that they can succeed!
Several administrative awards were also handed out at graduation. The Principal’s Award (given by Principal David Lauer) was given to both Alfredo Molina (Colombia) and Corey Hatmaker (Florida). The Citizenship Award, given by Residential Director, Albert Alexander, went to Shynah Daly (Florida); the Dean of Students Award, given by Dan Sheppard, went to Mufaddal Ebrahim (Hong Kong). Dr. Cathy Wooley-Brown’s President’s Award also went to two students; Sylvie Sabones (Illinois) and Janie Alexander (Alabama).
