Valedictorian Tyler Gentry shared fond remembrances of his fellow 2017 Peetz High School graduates Sunday, thank each of them each for their friendship.
PEETZ - Peetz High School graduated 14 students Sunday.
Though an average-sized graduating class, Superintendent Mark Collard described the class of 2017 as "fantastic kids."
"We've got a lot of bright kids with a lot of different opportunities awaiting them," Collard said. "Out here, our kids are very traditional. They get involved in things. They participate in clubs and sports, and they keep their academics up."
Salutatorian Baylie Hradecky encouraged her fellow graduates to pursue their dreams.
"Aim high. Do what you love, but don't be afraid to fail," Hradecky said. "Always set the highest goal for yourself because nothing is impossible. Try to make goals based on what you love."
The time ahead, Hradecky said, is equally for discovering these passions.
"Everyone is different, which is why each of us needs to take the time to learn what we love to do," she said. "By doing what we love, we will enjoy life."
Meeting these tasks comes with challenges, Hradecky said, but they should not be afraid to fail.
