These speeches are read by Alta Vista teachers at the ceremony before each student is officially presented a diploma. The highly individualized graduation ceremony is consistent with how the school operates on the whole. “Our teachers are tenacious,” Pierce said. “To the extent that they are able, they will not let a student fail.” The list of Alta Vista grads will run in next week’s Voice, or check mv-voice.com V
