Ike Class of 2024 looks to move mountains
The Eisenhower High School Class of 2024 moved mountains to get from kindergarten to graduation, but the biggest ones are yet to come.
I believe our amazing teachers at Eisenhower shaped us to find the tips and tricks to push those mountains that got in our way,” commencement speaker Delani Bruno said. “Whether your path to your next mountain is college, trade school, the military, cosmetology school, or taking a well-deserved gap year, we can all sit comfortably knowing we were the most prepared to move and climb that next mountain in the distance.”
The members of the Class of 2024 received their diplomas at a ceremony Saturday night at the O’Rena at Oakland University.
The second commencement speaker, Dimitri Dimovski, spoke to graduates his story of facing odds of one in 55,000 to earn American citizenship.
“Let us dream big, cast light upon those dreams, and above all, breathe life into them,” he said. “The story I've shared with you today extends far beyond a personal anecdote; it is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and change, that resides within us all.”
Principal Brandon Manzella spoke to the accomplishments of the Class of 2024:
- 277 seniors graduated with honors
- 211 seniors were UCS Academic Scholars
- 110 Students were UCS AP Scholars
- 69 Presidential Award winners
- 11 Macomb County All-Academic Team members with Eisenhower students accounting for 3 of the top 20 students on the County Wide All Academic Dream Team.
- 8 National Merit qualifiers
- And 76 Valedictorians and 6 Salutatorians.
“Dream big even if it seems impossible,” Singleton said. “You only have one life to live your life on your own terms.”
Superintendent Robert Monroe reminded graduates with the many titles they carry – son or daughter, sibling, Eagle – they now add a new one.
“Today, you will become a Utica Community Schools graduate. It is a title that I invite you to wear with pride,” he said.
Board of Education president Dr. Mary Thomas said graduates will continue to have the benefit of their community and parents as they navigate the road forward.
“In life, lean into your parents, guardians, family, and friends when you find yourself lost or in unfamiliar territory,” she said. “In partnership with you, they will look at your available routes to guide you to the path that makes the most sense in that instance.”
Congratulations Eisenhower High School Graduates
