As the sun set over Boerne ISD Stadium Thursday night, it marked the end of the high school careers of 491 Champion High School graduates. But, if the speeches read to the graduating class that night ring true, 982 bright eyes are set on the future.
The stadium bleachers were filled with at least 3,000 family members and friends who cheered on the largest graduating class in Boerne ISD’s history in a congratulatory farewell as many of the burgeoning adults gear up to part ways with the safety net of home.
While much of the graduating class may have set plans for their future or colleges, universities of the military they’re set for in the coming years, Champion’s valedictorian, Marisa Matos, offered wise words to her peers that plans can change and paths can be altered, but it’s the work they put into their futures that matter.
