After four long years at ERHS, the class of 2011 says its final goodbye and begins on their journey into life.
Although the class of 2011 is just another alumni class that will be associated with the school, there are many characteristics that set them apart from classes past. The class of 2011 was the first class to have its educational landmark requirements changed. Math classes, for the first time, were a requirement for this graduating class to take all four years. However, despite this upset, many say that they are proud to be a part of the class of 2011.
“I am proud to be a part of the class of 2011 because I have grown up with everybody and I am glad to see all of us moving on to the next chapters of our lives,” said senior Courtney Wood.
In addition to the senior students being affected by the class of 2011’s departure, the younger classes also have feelings toward it.
“I’m going to miss the kids that I know but I am excited to be the new class of seniors for next year,” said junior Molly Salisbury.
“I think the seniors leaving is really sad because I have all senior friends and it’s going to be lonely once they are gone,” said another junior student, Carly Darrow.
Even though the last day of high school is an emotion filled day mixed with excitement, the seniors still have a lot to look forward to after that point. Graduation commencement ceremonies are June 5th at3:00pm at the football stadium and many people are looking forward to wearing their maroon and white caps and gowns that they only got to see on other people prior to this point in time. In addition to commencement, many people have chosen to have a graduation open house to celebrate their achievements in high school and anticipate their futures at the college of their choice.
“I am having an open house because my mom is making me have one,” said senior Brenin Richardson. In Brenin’s case, his parents want to celebrate his graduation because he doesn’t like to throw parties for himself.
“I was excited about my open house because my uncle “the hot dog man” was making me hot dogs and I got a lot of money,” said Daniel Carter who already had his open house celebration.
Senior year is an amazing time in a teenager’s life and it’s definitely a memory that the students and their families will remember forever.
