On Thursday, May 21, commencement exercises were held on Davis Henry Field for Hooper Academy’s graduating class of 2021.
The seniors marched proudly onto the field as family and loved ones snapped pictures and beamed with pride as they passed by. Provided with a front-row seat on the field, proud parents watched as their graduates began the next chapter of their lives.
Peyton Baker, valedictorian, and Jonathan Brown, salutatorian, speeches spoke to the bonds of friendship this class was able to construct over the years with classmates and faculty.
The setting sun in the background seemed poetic as Dr. Liz Norman, headmaster, and Mr. Jason Langley handed out diplomas to eager students. Student after student took his/her walk in the spotlight, holding the knowledge that even though they will not be walking Hooper Academy’s halls next fall, they will always have the memories made there.
One can not help but wonder what the future holds for these young men and women. The possibilities are limitless for these young graduates. Only time will tell, for this is not just an end but a new beginning.
