E.E. Smith High School
Words of Inspiration from Graduation:
“So as you prepare to write your next chapter, whether it’s college, military service, a career or a journey you’ve yet to name, carry this truth with you: Who you are is already enough. The world needs what you’ve learned here, not just academically, but emotionally, morally and spiritually.”
~ Larry Parker, EESHS Principal
“The only one who will ever truly stand in your way is yourself.”
~ Gray Byrd, EESHS Valedictorian
“As you go into your career fields, there will be times when you don’t feel like learning but when your motivation is low, your purpose is what will keep you going so [that] you can make an impact.”
~Toria Council, EESHS Salutatorian
