As the class of 2015 continues their countdown until graduation, preparations have been underway for the occasion.
As tradition the valedictorian speaks. This year, the position is shared between Jeffery Andrade and Austin Garrett. Due to this, there is only one remaining position for speakers open.
The top five percent nominated five individuals, voting on who they wanted to speak at graduation. Aamir Patel was chosen.
Patel feels that while this opportunity brings pressure, it will be something he can remember forever.
“I want to say something that resonates with [the senior class]. I want [my speech] to be something that can stay with them for the rest of their lives.” Patel says.
Now, the process will begin for these individuals to get their essays approved before the ceremony on May 27.
