PRINCIPAL ROSA’S GRADUATION REMARKS e emai =p ennai Neo StseninneniaiaNieeemgnnees Superintendent Barbarisi, Members of the School Committee, Reverend Clergy, Members of the Faculty, Parents, Relatives and Friends of the Graduates, and most importantly, Graduates of the Class of 1987. Having successfully completed all academic requirements, the 162 young men and women seated on this stage have attained a part of the American dream by earning a high school diploma. Today, they officially become members of the 1987 graduating Class of Mansfield High School and, because of this attainment, they should feel quite proud! Although they now are together as one, almost as soon as today’s ceremony ends, each graduate will begin to go off in his own or her own direction. But, because of what occurs here today, these 162 people will always be held together by a common bond; which is of couse, that they are classmates and members of the Class of 1987. Because of their fine behavior and level of academic accomplishment over the past four years, this class is held in high esteem by the faculty. Although deserving of all the praise accorded them, these graduates must realize that because of their vast potential, much is expected of them. Whether going on to a post-secondary school, and the list of colleges and universities is most impressive, going into the world of work, or entering the armed forces, the stamp of the Class of 1987 is upon them and continued excellence is expected. Graduates, I implore you to dedicate yourself to excellence, because although such dedication may require much hard work, it brings a high degree of satisfaction and fulfillment. Regardless of what you decide to do with your life, carry with you the words of the noted educator and former president of Harvard University, James Bryant Conant, who said: “Fach honest calling, each walk of life has its own elite - its own aristocracy, and it is based on excellence of performance.” Id like to close by congratulating the parents of the graduates for the support and encouragement they’ve provided during the past twelve years. And to the graduates I give my fondest wishes for success, and hope you will always have pleasant memories of Mansfield High School. Thank you. (
