Eisenhower "superheroes" celebrate their graduation

The members of the Eisenhower High School Class of 2015 are true heroes, speakers told graduates on Saturday.

“It was only fitting that our senior year homecoming theme was superheroes, because that’s what we are,” said student speaker Samantha Droope. “As our paths lead us different ways and we go on to master our powers, the world will only become a better place, because with a bunch of Eagles flying around, how could it not? “

More than 600 seniors earned their diplomas at commencement ceremonies Saturday morning.

“We are Eagles for a reason, said student speaker MacKenzie Olbrys.”We have the capacity to soar beyond ourselves to revitalize the human interaction....Let’s be that class to change this world.”

Other stage speakers celebrated the accomplishments of the graduates and their ability to meet their goals.

Referencing a current movie, Superintendent Dr. Christine Johns told graduates they have the energy, character and power to make their “Tomorrowland” a better place.

“You are dreamers, and dreamers stick together,” Dr. Johns said. “Dreamers turn ideas into action.”

Board of Education Vice President Gene Klida told the graduates their Utica Community Schools background makes each senior “unquestionably ready for the choices you will have going forward.”

Principal Nanette Chesney celebrated the accomplishments of the 617 members of the Class of 2015: 41 valedictorians, one salutatorian, two National Merit finalists, one National Merit commended student, 156 academic scholars and more than $3 million in scholarships.
