Delta High School Commencement Speaker
Kelly, our son-in-law was asked, by the graduating seniors, to be their Commencement speaker. What a neat and fun
honor for their Economics/Social Studies Teacher to have.
Kelly (Mr. McCormick), a teacher, coach and graduate of Delta High School, presented a message filled with personal observations of members of the Class of 2009.
He encouraged the class to always believe in themselves, and to never stop learning. “Learning keeps you young and sharp,” he said.
“Do not mistake that diploma as a right of passage, it is a gift, and you must always give back.”
He also urged them to never give up on their dreams, and to always stand up for what they believe is right.
Look for good in others and only good will come from you.
