GREENVILLE – The Class of 2017 bid farewell to Greenville High School, June 3, along with its Principal Jeff Cassell, who is retiring.

Principal Cassell reviewed some of the highlights of their time spent at the school, including achievements in sports, arts and music.

“We have experienced exceptional moments,” he said. “As a result of this excellence, the Class of 2017 will receive many monetary awards.”

According to Cassell, the initial value in grants and scholarship money for next year is $583,000. Cassell left the class with some words of wisdom.

“The biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable,” he said. “As members of the class of 2017 move forward, pursue your dreams. Don’t let the possibility of failure cross your mind. Don’t settle for comfortable, but live the dream. It has certainly been my pleasure to have worked with these members of this class.”

The Senior High Orchestra, under the direction of Music Director J.R. Price, played some pre-commencement music selections, including “Pomp and Circumstance,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” the “March of the Graduates,” and accompanied the High School Vocal Music Department. They sang “I was Here” and “You Raise me Up,” under the direction of Vocal Music Department Directors: Chelsea Whirledge and Erick Von Sas.

The speakers included: Pastor Matt Haupt, Superintendent Doug Fries, Greenville School Board President James Sommer, Principal Cassell, Valedictorian Mackenzie Kaitlynn Slade and Salutatorian Jeremy Jacob Eshbaugh.The diplomas were awarded by Greenville Board of Education members Vice President Brad Gettinger, David Madden, David Ernst and Fred Matix; Treasurer Carla Surber; Supt. Doug Fries; Assistant Superintendent Laura Bemus; Career Technology Director Stan Hughes; and Assistant Principals Carl Brown and David Torrence.
