Class of 2017

High School Graduates

A salute to all Cumberland County’s graduates

Inside: Lists of every graduate from public and private schools

The first day of the rest of your lives

Dr. Frank Till Jr.,

Superintendent of Cumberland County Schools

Dr. Frank Till Jr., Superintendent

It has been said that education is preparing our youth for a world that we don’t know and can’t predict.

I read recently that the microchip is doubling its capacity every two years.

What it means is the microchip that propelled the first personal computers now has several million times more capacity. We are now able to talk about cars that will drive themselves and modern medicine that will make many birth defects a thing of the past.

Travel to Mars will be possible.

When I look at our graduates, they have more access to knowledge than we ever had, and they are comfortable with the ambiguity of multiple sources. Many of the things that we took for granted, they are now challenging. They are more accepting of diversity.

The diploma that they received is only a symbolic

document. It represents the completion of required course work. It certifies that they are eligible to graduate. The second aspect is the commencement. The graduation moving to commencement symbolizes the beginning of life after high school. We would often say the first day of the rest of their life.

I am so proud of the Class of 2017. They have exceeded the minimum standards. At a young age, they are making a difference in this community.

They will attend all the top universities and military service academies. Those who choose to go the trade route, where 70 percent of jobs exist, will be prepared to make a difference.

I know the graduation exercise was the last time many of them will be together.

They will remember their high school friends and the teachers who supported them. They will remember the heartbreaks and great moments.

I wish the Class of 2017 all the best. I know that their futures are bright and they will make a big difference. The world will be better because of them.

Dr. Frank Till Jr. is superintendent of Cumberland County Schools.
