Graduating students, exactly 30 years ago today I was sitting where you are now, impatiently waiting to receive my diploma. So, I assure you, time will pass ... and it will pass quickly but you will always remember this day.

 Thank you Liora, You did a great job with your opening statement and a fantastic job leading the ASB students through their achievements during your presidency last semester.

Class of 2008—Each year I am asked to write a farewell to seniors.  For me, this task, along with the graduation speech is the most difficult to accomplish —the words, nearly impossible to assemble.
Personally, I always struggle to find words suitable for a fond farewell.  As the principal, I am supposed to remain calm and unemotional during the course of my job.
