“Class of 2019,
approximately 182 school days ago we sat together in the auditorium and began
talking about your year as seniors at Indian Hill High School. In a place
rooted in tradition and excellence, I challenged you to raise the bar on
yourselves and leave a legacy that you, your parents, and all of Braves Nation
could be proud of. You did not disappoint,” said IHHS Principal Jeff Damadeo in
an address to the students. “Go into the future with energy, enthusiasm, and
drive. Expect some days to be hard, but embrace every moment. I challenge you
to be great, live your excellence, and inspire others along the way.”
In his final
address as the Indian Hill Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Mark Miles delivered
the closing thoughts,
Members of
the Class of 2019, we are so very proud of you. This week has
been focused upon celebrating your academic, athletic, and artistic
accomplishments. And we have, in fact, been celebrating you and your
accomplishments every step of the way during your 468-week journey in
K-12 education.
Wherever you may go
and whatever you may do, be courageous! Be an inspiration,
spread happiness, uplift those less fortunate,
and serve others with grace. I hope your experiences throughout
the Indian Hill School District have prepared you to be courageous,
to Be Brave!
As Dorothy reminds
us in The Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home.” For
some, the Indian Hill School District has been your home for 18 years; for
others, perhaps only one year. As you journey forth, please
remember home is where our stories begin. May the
memories of the beginning of your story and this home bring
you great joy in the years ahead.
And wherever our
future homes may be, I am so hopeful our paths will cross again.
On behalf of our
faculty, staff, and Board of Education, Class of 2019, I extend my best wishes
for continued courage and bravery. And remember, we are and always will
be BRAVES! Thank you.
