Too cool for school: Some graduates celebrated by letting their hair down and popping on a pair of sunglasses
For many, the commencement ceremony will be the last time they see their peers from Brown County High School as they each move on to finish their education, join the military or become a member of the workforce.
Students and faculty alike watched on as Lily Voils gave a heartfelt speech about moving on from her experience as a Brown County student.
Families shared words, tears and hugs as they celebrated this new milestone.
The ceremony was not the end for some of the graduates as they joined the High School Band for one last hurrah.
Superintendant Emily Tracy shook hands with each graduate as they made their way across the stage
Turning the tassle and preparing for the next chapter of their lives.
Pomp and circumstance … turning of the tassel … change the world … a new start …
For some, those are words. But for those graduating, they have special meaning. Because the reality is that graduation is a new start … it is an opportunity to make changes, perhaps even change the world.
High school graduation is a milestone, a transition, if you will. More so than college or anything else, graduating from high school marks the time when many teens leave the nest and begin a new life. Even if that life is at a college, a trade school, the military or maybe just a new job and a place of their own.
So please join the Brown County Democrat and the many, many well wishers who offer a tip of the cap to these young people as they embark on what’s next — whatever it may be!
Way to go Class of 24! You did it!
