Class of 2019 Graduation

- Neil Gaiman

ongratulations, Class of 2019!

I’m sure the past four years have not been easy — spending long nights cramming for finals, dealing with pop quizzes first thing in the morning, trying to find a way to squeeze in time for a social life between homework and your shifts at your part-time job, etc.

The trials and tribulations of your teenage years all come to a head, however, when your name is finally called and you receive that new diploma, officially ushering you and your classmates into adulthood.

Sure, graduation may seem kind of hokey — those caps and gowns aren’t going to land you on the front cover of GQ or Cosmo anytime soon — but it’s a celebration of how far you all have come over the past 18 years of your life. Take pride in your growth, and make sure to thank the teachers, mentors and your friends and family who helped shape you into the young adult you are today.

While your futures may take you across the country — or perhaps across the globe — don’t ever forget your roots. There’s always a place called home for you here in our Foothills.

Without further ado, the Tryon Daily Bulletin would like to present to you, our readers, the Class of 2019!

LANDRUM HIGH SCHOOL 2019 Senior Class

I

t is my distinct honor to introduce the Landrum High School Class of 2019.

I have had the privilege of watching this group of students grow into young men and women who are prepared for the exciting new journeys ahead of them. The milestone of high school graduation is one of the most exciting events in life, which presents unlimited opportunities.

Whether our students are headed off to college or into the workforce, they will have endless opportunities to utilize their unique and individual experiences to make a positive difference and impact change.

On behalf of Spartanburg School District One and the board of trustees, I would like to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments, hard work, sacrifices and successes of each and every one of the 2019 graduates of Landrum High School.

Congratulations, and best of luck in all of your future endeavors!

Dr. Ronald W. Garner, Superintendent

This is a very special time of year for you seniors and your families, and for us as teachers and staff. It is rewarding to see the culmination of your hard work, and we feel fortunate to have played a part in preparing you for a productive future.

Take some time to reflect on the effort and commitment it has taken to get you to this point. Take pride in your accomplishments and realize you will need the same dedication and resolve to be successful going forward.

I would also encourage you to join me in thanking your families, your communities, and the Polk County Schools educators who have helped you reach your goals. Know that we are very proud of you and that your Wolverine Family is behind you all the way.

As you prepare to embark on a new journey, set your aim high.
