Graduates set new standard

To sum up Class of 2014 is best to listen to the words from Kurt Richardson, Clarkston High School Physical Education teacher and Head Coach for Clarkston Wolves Varsity Football.
“This truly is a class of champions,” said Richardson to the graduating class during commencement on June 2. “They set a new standard.”
He asked the grads to do three things – remember their roots; dare to dream and follow those dreams; and follow their passion and find their niche.
Congrats Class of 2014. We miss you already!

Emily Marie Hyde wrote a poem to commemorate her senior year at Clarkston High —

High School:
I never thought I’d
feel this way about you,
With all the pain
and stress you caused.
I feared you and cringed
in your presence.
All the time I was
with you I wanted
to run away.
Day after day,
I just waited for
the weekend so
I would be free of you.
Now that you want me gone,
Now that I’m leaving ? I don’t
want to.
I remember the good times I’ve
spent with you,
All the victories you led
me to,
All the friends you
introduced me to.
I don’t want to graduate
from you ? not yet.
? Emily Marie Hyde
