CHS students 'commit to complete'
May 5—CLINTON — Joined by their families and representatives of workforce and colleges, 101 Clinton High School graduating seniors Friday took part in CHS's "Commit to Complete" signing.
With a ceremonial signing of certificates, students dedicated themselves to post-secondary plans they've made, whether they include joining the workforce, military, a trade school, a two-year community college, a four-year college or university, or taking on an apprenticeship.
Guest speaker Francis Boggus, a community planning and development consultant, encouraged students to move forward as they face adversity and challenges to come.
"You're going to make mistakes," he said. "Understand that you have to get up every day and do the best you can."
Boggus advised students to have patience, perseverance, to take pride in everything they do, and to have a positive attitude.
He closed with a reminder to have fun in life, before wishing them luck.
The signing was preceded with a lunch provided by CHS culinary students and was followed by group photos and door prizes that included towel sets, hampers, Bluetooth speakers, a fridge, and a microwave.
