Photographers were positioned at the left and right entrances – photographing both with a split screen. Jared is on the far right with his walking partner as they approached the photographer.

Each walking duo did something to announce their entrance when positioned in front of the camera. These two shook hands.

My view of the graduating class as they stood with their backs to us.

There were a variety of speakers, including Mr. Joshua Weitzel, High School Principal (left) and if I remember correctly, the young woman is Lauren Huber Class President of 2023 (right) as she presented her welcome.

There was also a piano solo and a musical selection by members of the graduating class, plus one member from the class of 2025.

The guest speaker was Ms. Amanda Conway Simmons, a graduate of Manheim Central in 1996 – Master Gunnery Sergeant. She is a member of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band stationed at Marine Barracks Washington D.C.

My favorite quote from her message was, “You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond.”
