Congratulations to the WAHS Class of 2017!
|
Williamsport Area High School's 2016-17 academic year has just ended, and what a year it was.
On June 8, 342 graduates proudly celebrated their achievements and received their diplomas.
Those in attendance had the privilege of hearing commencement speeches made by members of the senior class -
Alisha Chen and
Julia Mason. Each delivered a message set to a theme based on the Charles Wheelan quote:
"We know that success is not about simply running faster than everyone else in some predetermined direction. It is about finding a passion, taking risks, running in new directions, and dealing with failure." In addition, Class President
Veronica Moon also made remarks.
In addition, this year's high school retirees were acknowledged and honored for their service to the district and its students over the years.

Designated as a "working lunch" for second- and third-grade students, the goal of the program is to connect students with local professionals and expose them to an array of career fields. Students are able to interact with each guest speaker by asking questions about their careers.
