Over 530 Seniors Honored at GISH 2024 Graduation

May 13th, 2024


In front of a standing room only crowd at the Heartland Events Center, 536 Seniors earned their diplomas and walked across the stage as Grand Island Senior High hosted its 2024 Graduation Ceremony on Sunday, May 12th.


Programming for the seminal occasion included musical performances by the GISH Band and GISH Chamber Singers.


Senior Lauren Brown was the featured student speaker for commencement.  Brown shared an encouraging message on the importance of working together and celebrating differences.

"We started our Freshman year with so much uncertainty. And we discovered along the way just how much we needed each other." Brown shared during her speech, "Disagreeing is easy. Finding common ground is hard... But our world wouldn't be as beautiful if we were all the same.  Work with the people in the room to make a difference. Together."
 

Continuing with sharing positive messages, Mr. Matt Fisher, GIPS Superintendent, shared with the 500+ graduating Seniors the importance of focusing on goals — not perfection.
 
"Milestones in life are a great opportunity to look back and thank those who helped you get there. Milestones are also a great time to look ahead at what's in front of you." Fisher affirmed, "Know that you will make mistakes along the way. We all do. The key is to learn from those mistakes and keep moving forward... Keep moving towards your next goals."
 

Cheers, applause, and big smiles filled the arena as students' names were called to walk across the stage.
 

A video of the full graduation ceremony may be watched at the video window above (or on the GIPS YouTube Channel).
 

We will be sharing more photos and student soundbites from the 2024 GISH Graduation soon. 
 

Congratulations to the GISH Graduating Class of 2024!
