The mighty, mighty Titans celebrate graduation

Stevenson High School graduates only had to go back to their building namesake to reflect on the theme of their commencement.

“Today, we are celebrating change. A change that Adlai Stevenson said is inevitable,” Principal Steven Pfannes said. “We all want this change to be a good thing but it is not automatically good. However, Mr. Stevenson also reminds us that ‘Change for the better is a full-time job’.”

Senior commencement speaker Calvin Montgomery found inspiration in another historical figure, poet Dylan Thomas and his poem Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.

“To me, life is about going out and doing what you want, whether it is easy or not,” said commencement speaker Montgomery.

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.”

Accomplishments of the Class of 2015 include 24 Valedictorians, two Salutatorians, seven Class A Macomb County All-Academic Team members, 28 Advanced Placement Scholars and more than $6 million in scholarships.

In the senior farewell, Jessica Cline reminded Stevenson graduates to always remember their Titan roots. “As we go, we remember what we had together, never forget to help yourself and never forget where you came from,” she said.
