“Together we have been one,” Hauser said. “We will always be an extraordinary family of Gremlins.”

“Today we embrace the future. Today we are ready to spread our talents all over the world,” Hauser said.
High honors graduate Sabrina Crawford said the class has talented students who will achieve greatness.

“I think that in the future we will all continue to touch the lives of others,” Crawford said.

We are talented and competitive because we push each other to be the best we can be,” Frederick said.“The class of 2018 will achieve their goals no matter where your lives lead you,” said Edwin Conto, high school principal and master of ceremonies.Superintendent Eric Ritzert urged the class to set goals and take steps to achieve them.“Graduates, as you contemplate what the future holds, take advantage of the opportunities life presents you ... Whatever you do and wherever you go, never forget to be extraordinary,” Ritzert said.
