KHS holds motorcade for 108 graduates

Kagman High School held the longest motorcade for its 108 graduates, with the parade reaching all the way to Koblerville and ending at their campus in Kagman 3.

KHS’ commencement motorcade started at Kan Pacific in Marpi, heading down to Garapan, to Koblerville, before heading up San Vicente and making its way to the KHS campus.

Hannah Palacios and Thomas William DelaCruz led the KHS Class of 2020 as valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.

Palacios said at first dreaded being valedictorian since the title carries some weight. “It made me feel almost as if people would suddenly have high expectations for me to uphold. I had to take a step back and remind myself that I didn’t earn it by thinking about a title or what others expect of me. I earned it by dedicating myself to my dreams and by giving my all into something that could eventually take me anywhere and everywhere,” she said.

Palacios in a prerecorded speech.

DelaCruz said their class is no stranger to getting their school years cut short with Typhoon Soudelor, Super Typhoon Yutu, and now COVID-19. However, they have learned to cherish the moments they did have. “We must all look forward and continue hoping for the best to come out of all this,” he said.
