BURTON GRADUATES HONORED AT COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

  

Parents, grandparents, and loved ones gathered at Panther Stadium Friday night to see the Burton High School class of 2019 mark the next step in their lifelong journey.

Crowds filled the stands to watch the commencement ceremonies as the sun set, while each of the seniors were handed their diplomas.

A pair of addresses were presented from outstanding Burton graduates.  The first of which came from Salutatorian Jessica Villarreal, who told her classmates to not dwell on the sadness of leaving friends behind, but to remember the good times they all had together.

 

The valedictory address was given by Caleb Harmel, who said he wouldn’t trade his high school experiences for the world.  He encouraged seniors to not be afraid of chasing their dreams.

 

A total of 29 graduates crossed the stage Friday night to receive their honors.
