Brewster High School Class of 2019 graduates 47 strong

Posted

BREWSTER – Threatening skies and light rain neither discouraged nor delayed 47 seniors from the Brewster High School Class of 2019 from completing outdoor commencement exercises on Champion Field last Friday evening, June 7.

Driven by a brisk north wind, raindrops began to fall on the ceremony as senior Valeria Mendivil sang the National Anthem. Superintendent Eric Driessen advised the audience that while some may need to seek shelter, the threatening weather would not cancel or delay the Class of 2019’s special moment.

Julissa Olvera and Kim Nila delivered the invocation followed by the Salutatorian address by Nation Rios.

Driessen presented Hall of Fame awards to two recipients this year, Dan Webster and Roy “Spider” Riggan.

Shakira Guzman and Adriana Cobarruvias introduced graduates’ family members who were themselves former Brewster High School grads.

Samanta Yanez delivered the Valedictorian address.

Brewster High School counselor Amy Stennes recognized graduates who will be entering branches of the military and conducted the presentation of graduate awards.

Dean Busching was class speaker while seniors Giselle De La Paz, Miguel Chacon and Jose Gomez presented the graduates’ slide show.

The Brewster High School Recognition assembly was held the at 1:30 p.m. the previous day, Thursday, June 6.
