Leaving a Legacy

Menlo-Atherton High School

Among the guests at the graduation ceremony for the class of 2003 at Menlo-Atherton High School this year will be Assemblyman Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, and members of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Friends and families of the graduates will hear speeches by their assemblyman and six graduating seniors: Kate Lee, Lois Watts, Alice Pencavel, Alexandria Gurley, Marcelo Melendez and Clair Whitlinger.

The ceremony is set to begin shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday, June 12, when graduating seniors file onto the football field, led by social studies teacher Jim MacKenzie and accompanied by the Menlo-Atherton Concert Band playing "Pomp and Circumstance."

After the Marines raise the flag, senior class president Siniva Taumoepeau will lead the assembled guests in the pledge of allegiance and the band will play the national anthem.

After Principal Eric Hartwig welcomes everyone, he will turn the mike over to student body presidents Agnes Mahafutau and Marshall Serkes to introduce the guests of honor and others on the dais. Mr. MacKenzie will acknowledge teachers who will retire from M-A this year.

Students speeches are next on the program, followed by the principal's address and an introduction by Gordon Lewin, a trustee of the Sequoia Union High School District.

Mr. Simitian will give the main address, followed by the presentation of diplomas, presided over by teachers Ana Improgo, Gregg Patner and Elisa Nino-Sears.
