HEMINGWAY — District Superintendent Ralph Fennell handed out the dimplomas to Hemingway High School’s senior class, which graduated Friday morning, May 30, at 9 a.m. New Prospect graduated Friday evening. Other area graduations will continue this week, with Carvers Bay at 5 p.m. Thursday June 5 and Hannah Pamplico at 7 the same day. Johnsonville’s will be at 7 p.m on June 6.
Salutatorian Saiydah Marshall told the Hemingway graduates that “...If you’d like to win, but think you can’t, you almost certainly won’t. The last battle may go to the stronger and faster, but sooner or later it will go to the one who thinks he can. Your teachers might give up on you, but it’s not over until you give up on yourself. If you do not believe in yourself, eventually no one else will. It starts and ends with you - with the choices you make.”
“We must never stop trying, never stop learning, and never stop improving ourselves. We’ve made it; we are enjoying our accomplishments; and we’ve made a great future.”
Validictorian Jalisa Porcha told her classmates in a speech where she broke down with emotion, “Success is a journey, not a destination. There is no success without sacrifice. Great success always calls for great sacrifice. Even failure can be a part of sucess.”
