Starting a new journey!

DCHS Graduation

Friday evening 163 members of the DCHS Class of 2023 gathered during the graduation ceremony to celebrate their achievement of earning a high school diploma. Today they begin a new journey in life to attain other individual goals as young adults.

In his commencement address, Valedictorian Robert Wheeler encouraged his classmates to keep their goals in sight and not detour as they continue down the road of life. Wheeler said that’s a lesson he learned from one of his high school teachers.

“I was studying for the ACT last spring and going through a rough patch. I was getting really discouraged and wanted to quit but Mr. John Pryor’s words helped me get through this period of hardship and I think they are applicable to everyone at some point in time during their life,” said Wheeler.

“Mr. Pryor said to me it’s a long road, and there are going to be many places to stop and get off, but you just gotta keep going until you get there. I want to thank Mr. Pryor for these inspiring words. I have thought about them many times and I firmly believe I would not be up here on this stage tonight without them,” Wheeler continued.

“We have all been traveling this road together through high school and to this point we had a common destination of graduation. We did not get off this road. We made it here and the journey has been a lot of fun. We have individually achieved goals, celebrated each others’ successes, and made a lot of memories. I am very grateful for my time here and that we have shared this road together. This is where our journeys will start taking us in different directions. My hope is each of us will be intentional and thoughtful about the roads we choose and make sure we choose roads that will help us become the people we want to be and make this world a better place,” said Wheeler.

“Tonight we celebrate reaching this graduation destination together. Tomorrow we start down our new roads. They lead to college for some of us, trade school for others, and some will go ahead and enter the workforce. It really doesn’t matter what we choose, as long as we know it is the path we are suppose to take. It could be a long path to get where we want to go, but we must remember not to get off that road until we get to where we want to be. Don’t forget to enjoy the ride, do what you can to make others’ lives better and, make memories. Congratulations to each of my fellow graduates,” Wheeler concluded.

At the beginning of his speech, Wheeler remembered a fellow classmate, Tyler Williams who passed away in March, 2022 when he was a junior.

There was one vacant chair with only a framed photo of Tyler among his classmates on the football field. And during the awarding of diplomas, black and gold balloons were released when Tyler’s name was called.

The theme of Class President Liam Wallace’s address was also about “the journey.”

“We should step back and remember our journey through high school together. As you move on to bigger and better things in life you should look back at high school and try to remember the good times. Don’t let yourself get stuck on any regrets. Keep your eyes to the future and only remember the times you enjoyed,” said Wallace.

“I look into this crowd of my peers and see so many people who don’t let others decide the trajectory of their dreams. Class of ‘23, continue to be single minded in your approach to your dreams, while also being open minded in your approach to life itself. Have no fear of failure. Reach for your success every single day from this point on. The sun won’t stop coming up, so don’t waste time waiting for an opportunity, create an opportunity,” Wallace added.

Wallace closed by quoting Kanye West saying “If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed”.

Principal Bruce Curtis, completing his second year as head of DCHS, was complimentary of the senior class.

“Congratulations Class of 2023. Seniors, it has been a privilege getting to know you these last two years and be part of your lives. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed the last two years as much as I have. It is my hope that each of you have learned that if you are willing to put forth the effort, you can accomplish anything in life,” said Curtis. “To the parents, grandparents, and guardians of the senior class, you have raised some of the best young ladies and young men that I have ever had the privilege of working with. They are kind, fun loving and respectful young adults. You should be very proud,” said Curtis.

Director of Schools Patrick Cripps also congratulated the class and thanked the parents and faculty.

“Congratulations class. As you start out on a new journey, I am reminded of something my dad told me many years ago about character. He said character is not what you do when somebody is watching. Its what you do when no one is watching. Many of you will leave home for the first time in your lives and you will start a new life on your own. Just remember what character means and that there is always somebody watching. Parents, thank you for supporting our students. Faculty, thank you for setting the foundation for them to start their next endeavor. Parents, I am also reminded of a quote from Dr. Seuss many years ago. Dr. Seuss said don’t cry because its over. Smile because it happened. You have done a wonderful job raising your kids and we thank you for your support in helping us set them forth on their next adventure,” said Director Cripps.

Three of the most outstanding members of the class were singled out for special recognition. This year’s White Rose Awards went to Robert Wheeler and Jacklyn Kleparek while the Citizenship Award was presented to Dixie Hill.

The White Rose is presented to a boy and girl from the senior class with strong academic performance and contribution to the school and community and exemplary moral character.

Simply Irresistible!

Aspen is a recent newcomer to the DeKalb Animal Shelter but because she is such a loveable and good natured dog a forever home may soon be in her future. You can make that happen!

Meet Aspen, the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”

“Aspen is a 5-month-old Lab Mix with beautiful hazel eyes. She is still new to the shelter and a little nervous, but she is super sweet. She came in with two other siblings. Aspen is learning leash manners. She will be spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped before we let her go. She does need a little bit of training. If you are up to that and would like to adopt her, the adoption fee is $180. Aspen will do well with other dogs and kids,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett.

“If you are interested in adopting Aspen please check out the adoptable pet’s link on our website to fill out an application at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ and we will call you to come in and meet her,” said Bennett.

The shelter is open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 at 186 Transfer Station Road. Phone 615-597-3647.
