The class was
enthusiastic in response to guest
speakers art teacher Josh Knaggs and
math teacher Ryan Gillespie, 2,000 miles
from where he grew up but right at home,
who donned a pocket protector,
proclaimed himself a nerd, and
challenged those graduates who were
likewise proud to call themselves nerds
through a "final exam" to just stand up
if they'd had Math dreams!
