Nebo Graduates 2,129 Students 2016 - Answer to Wednesday's Challenge

Submitted by lana.hiskey on

Graduation allows a time for celebrating the achievements of the past three years or even the past thirteen years, a time for a relaxing and enjoying a summer with no more thoughts of high school assignments, and the excitement of what’s to come after high school.

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. No person graduates alone. All graduates need help along the way. 

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 School District 2016 graduations a wonderful experience for everyone.
