Hampton-Dumont bids farewell to 76 seniors

The Hampton-Dumont Class of 2014 gathered together for one final goodbye Sunday afternoon during commencement exercises inside the high school gymnasium. Seventy-six seniors said goodbye to H-D during the ceremony, which featured music, speeches and other special academic recognitions.

     Sunday’s ceremony opened with a welcoming address from H-D senior Blake Brown, who was one of four valedictorian students from the Class of 2014. Brown’s speech recounted some of the many memories the graduating seniors shared over the years in addition to offering a few thank-yous for those that helped them along the way.

     “In the years to come, we will look back fondly at the experiences we had, the friends we’ve made, and the mistakes we’ve learned from,” he said. “And we’ll remember the loving community of educators here at H-D. They were the ones that taught us the skills to succeed in the future, whether it be at work or at college.”
