What Graduation Means

Submitted by lana.hiskey on

Graduation allows for a long summer with no more thoughts of high school, a time for celebrating the achievements of the four past years, and the excitement of what’s to come after high school.

However, graduating from high school can be so much more. It can be a time to reflect on lessons learned and can also be a time to reflect on the parents, teachers, and mentors who helped each graduate get to the point they are at today.

Graduation is a celebration of the hard work of the graduates, teachers, and parents.

Nebo School District would like to thank the inspirational speakers, valedictorians, salutatorians, and students across the district for making the Nebo District 2012 graduations a wonderful experience for everyone.
