BCLUW class of 2016 celebrates beginning of next chapter

As the 50 seniors of the BCLUW class of 2016 walked across the stage to receive their high school diplomas on Sunday, emotions ran high among students, parents and staff members. It was a sad day as classmates prepare to enter the real world and head off in different directions, but also a day to celebrate and remember all of the memories and achievements for this class of Comets.

Five senior speakers addressed the crowd in the high school gym—Hannah Sams, Olivia Callaway, Clark Stevens, Allison Fisher and Madison Van Cleave. The speakers reflected on both the journey that led the class to graduation day and the long road ahead.
           
“The day that we’ve worked for the last 13 years has finally come.
