It commemorates the founding of the first permanent English settlement in America three hundred and fifty years ago. The early settlers of this colony set out in their ships, the “Godspeed”, the “Discovery”, and the “Sarah Constant”, to a new life in a new world. We, the seniors, also began a new life when we entered high school three years ago. This new life was a challenge to each and every one of us, both scholastically and socially. We adapted ourselves to a life of more freedom and more responsibility. We, like those early settlers, have endured many hardships from the first. Although we have had disappointments and trials, we have at last completed our voyage. four
