Friday, June 8, was graduation day for about 356 seniors from the class of 2007 at Woodside High School.
Friends, relatives, students and staff assembled on Bradley Field at 10 a.m. to the strains of the processional music “Pomp and Circumstance.” The school band, under the direction of Rob Baker, played the national anthem.
Sabrina Garretson, the senior class president, welcomed the guests and introduced seniors Monica Mora and Brieanna Wright, who gave a speech entitled “Life is …” and Vanessa Falepouono, whose speech had the title of “Make Your Own Star.”
Sabrina Garretson, Nicole Greco, Matthias Pelesasa and Nicolas Mantani presided over the presentation of the senior class gift to the school.
Principal Linda Common introduced the 13 valedictorians and their serial speech entitled “Know Your Rock, Love Your Rock.” The speakers were Jessica Brandt, Thomas Gariffo, Jarred Hare, Kylie Harris, Joanna Ingebritsen, Krista Lee, Rebecca Lyman, Kara Mantini, Nicholas Markwith, Samara Miller, Max Schneider, Emily Stockwell and Ryan Tate.
Presenting diplomas this year were Trustee Don Gibson of the Board of Trustees of the Sequoia Union High School District; Debra Moore Washington, assistant superintendent for human resources and professional development for the Sequoia district; and Ms. Common.
Announcing the names of the graduating students were 23 seniors. The ceremony ended with Ms. Garretson leading the class in the symbolic switching of tassels on their mortarboards.
