Recently a
new song was released by Matthew West entitled “Day One”. He begins lamenting that instead of looking
forward, he dwells on was has happened in the past and that he is always trying
to measure up to perfection. He goes on
to say that no one is keeping score so he will begin anew, because today is “day
one of the rest of his life”!
As we focus
on our students who are graduating, we encourage them to begin their new life
with gusto, to take risks, and to reach out and make a positive impact on their
surroundings. In the same way as West
sang, it is “Day One,” it is imperative that our seniors go on to the next
stage; their future.
It was such
a pleasure and honor to take part in the Columbia School District graduation
ceremonies for all of our graduates. On
Thursday Columbia School District had 19 Adult Education and Options High
School students enjoy commencement, and then on Friday we had the pleasure of
seeing 107 Columbia Central High School seniors graduate.
Our seniors
have grown together, laughed together and learned together. Our young people are full of potential. They have the opportunity to meet and defeat
the challenges they face. They are the
promise of tomorrow. Their past learning
experiences give them the platform for their future success!
Congratulations
to all 126 Columbia School District graduates as they discover their bright
future, because as Matthew West said, It is Day One of the rest of your
life. The Columbia School District
Family is cheering them on to success. We
will always be here for our graduates! If
