 Their time at Sweet Home High School ended for the 289 graduates of the Class of 2010 that walked across the stage at the University of Buffalo’s Center for the Arts on Friday, June 25. The 51st commencement exercises of Sweet Home Central School District showcased a class full of passion, dreams, memories and a keen sense of friendship and family.
With the help of an old friend, senior Andrew Glickman opened the ceremony by leading the pledge of allegiance. After a welcome by principal Joleen Reinholz, class representatives Karen Connolly, Kelly Balson, Collyn Christian, Katie Niblock and DeShanaro Morris addressed the audience. Each shared many memories of the Class of 2010 and all spoke of how well prepared they are for the future because of their four years at Sweet Home High School.
Following Morris, Superintendent Geoffrey M. Hicks took the stage. He thanked the seniors for making Sweet Home one of the very best school districts in Western New York and highlighted the hard work and determination as evident by the 87 percent of the graduating class that will attend a 2 or 4 year college next year and that the class earned a whopping $4.3 million in scholarship grants. He urged the graduating class to dream big and to continue to work hard to achieve those dreams.
The highlight of the evening was when DeShanaro Morris left his wheelchair aside and walked across the stage to accept his diploma. In his speech, he urged his classmates to persevere and to never let anyone tell them they can’t do something.
 The graduates recessed to the music of the Sweet Home Concert Wind Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Cory Morrow to Baird Pint for the traditional throwing of the caps.
Congratulations to the Class of 2010!
