The graduation began with Administrator Patricia St. Hilaire giving the invocation, and teacher Mike Nyberg presenting the opening prayer. He then gave the commencement address, “Into the Future with God,” in which he challenged the seniors to emulate the example of Job from the Bible.

The CMCA chorus sang “Cornerstone.” Other high school students honored the seniors with tributes that they had written to the graduates, followed by a video presentation of pictures from the lives of the graduates. The diplomas were awarded by St. Hilaire and members of the school board and staff. Following the graduation ceremony, relatives and friends joined the graduates and their parents in a receiving line held in their honor.
