The Rotary Club of Lake Stevens congratulates this year's Senior Class on their graduation tonight. 517 students participated in the ceremony held at Xfinity Arena in Everett. This was the largest class ever in the history of the school district. The ceremony began with the procession of students as they entered the arena. Pomp & Circumstance was played by the Lake Stevens High School Viking Band led by Neil Proff.
Amber Dalgleish, 2014-2015 Associated Student Body President and recipient of a 2015 Rotary Scholarship, welcomed the students, faculty, staff and families to the graduating ceremonies.
Three additional students addressed the crowd. The Student Selected Speaker was Jose Gaytan who gave a lively and entertaining dissertation on school life and not to forget the lessons learned. Mackenna Berg was the Staff Selcted Speaker. A highlight of the evening were two songs sung by the High School Choir led by Heidi Forslund. Eric Cahan, Principal of the High School was the emcee. During his remarks he noted that this class was kind. Kind in spirit, kind in heart and kind to the community. Dr. Amy Beth Cook, School District Superintendent, presented the class to the School Board as having completed all requirements set forth by the school district and the State of Washington. After every student received their diploma, Eric Cahan presented two final awards. The Jim Talley Memorial Scholarship was given to Jamie Santos--a recipient of a Rotary Scholarship and the U-Turn Award was given to Tabitha Majestic. Congratulations to both students! Lastly, Senior Class President Roquin Siongco closed out the evening with the traditional moving of the tassel.
