Graduation 2004: Menlo-Atherton High grads march June 17 Graduation 2004: Menlo-Atherton High grads march June 17 (June 09, 2004)

Shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday, June 17, Menlo-Atherton's graduating seniors will file on to the football field, led by social studies teacher Jim MacKenzie and accompanied by the school's concert band playing "Pomp and Circumstance."

After a color guard of Marines raises the flag, senior class co-president Kyle McCabe will lead the assembled guests in the pledge of allegiance and the band will play the national anthem.

Principal Eric Hartwig will then welcome everyone and turn the mike over to student body president Todd Wackerman to introduce those on the dais, including the guests of honor.

Mr. MacKenzie will then acknowledge the M-A teachers retiring this year: English teacher William Cane and math teacher Margo McAuliffe. Five students will speak this year: Jay Henderson, Lisa Ratner, George Martinez, Sarai Alataua and Katie Ordonez.

Mr. Hartwig will give the principal's address -- his last one at M-A -- and present the class to Olivia Martinez, a trustee of the Sequoia Union High School District.

Staff, teachers and administrators will present diplomas to the graduating seniors. The ceremony ends with the traditional shifting of the tassels from left to right, led by senior class officers Kyle McCabe, co-president; Jessica Haren, co-president; Rachael Fasig, secretary; and Amanda Della Chiesa, treasurer.
