Laughter, tears as Class of 2017 bids farewell
The Wills Point High School Class of 2017 officially turned the page, ending one chapter and beginning another with commencement exercises held at Sunnyvale First Baptist Church May 27.
Led by valedictorian Shelby Nichole Robinson and salutatorian Anna Maria Paredes, the 146-member Class of 2017 marched out to a waiting room filled with family, friends and school faculty members to commemorate the occasion.
Remembering one’s roots and embracing the opportunities of the future were common themes throughout the event as highlighted by speeches from both district faculty and student speakers.
