Posted onAuthorRobyn Gross

The Bristol Township School District grad­u­at­ed its high school seniors under sun­ny skies on Thursday evening at Harry S. Truman High School.

“Graduation is just a step­ping stone on our path through life,” said class pres­i­dent Lauren Vogt.

Lots of peo­ple lose sight of what it means to be suc­cess­ful, Vogt told her peers. She assured her class­mates that it isn’t mon­ey or mate­r­i­al possessions.

“To be suc­cess­ful in life is to wake up every morn­ing and be hap­py with what you have done,” Vogt said.

“We are here today to cel­e­brate our achieve­ments and com­mem­o­rate one of the most mem­o­rable times of our lives,” class vale­dic­to­ri­an Boris Guzman said.

“You were born to make an impact,” Truman prin­ci­pal Lyndell Davis began, urg­ing the grad­u­at­ing class to find their pur­pose and make the most of it.

Dr. Melanie Gerhens, the super­in­ten­dent of the dis­trict, told the class that every stu­dent has the abil­i­ty to cre­ate a pos­i­tive impact in society.
