experience and the chal
lenges he has overcome,
encouraging them to
remember all that they
have learned over their
time in the Dawson
County School System.
“As we leave this time
together one last time as a
senior class, may we
remember all that brought
us together, all that we
accomplished, the memo
ries we created, the diffi
culties, the happy times
and may we look forward
to a bright and prosperous
future,” Hamil said.
Wright also recounted
several memories from
her time at Dawson
County High School,
thanking her fellow stu
dents and teachers for
their support and friend
ship during her high
school career.
“I will forever cherish
my friends and the time
we’ve spent together, and
I will always remember
the teachers who laughed
with me, shared their own
memories with me and
taught me invaluable life
lessons,” Wright said.
“Do not forget your time
in high school, but do not
forget to grow as a person
and make new memories.
Reflect on the lessons
you have learned here and
use them to improve
yourself and your com
munity.”
She added that the les
sons and memories that
she and the rest of the
graduates will take away
from DCHS will be a cor
nerstone of their futures,
whatever those may look
like.
“From this point for
ward, none of us will
have the same future,”
Wright said. “We have
shared many moments in
our schooling so far, but
as we split into countless
different pathways
remember your time at
Dawson County High
School and learn from it.
Learn to be grateful, learn
to utilize your skills and
learn to leave the world a
better place than you
found it.”
In his final commence
ment address as superin
tendent before his retire
ment, Gibbs expressed
his gratitude to the Board
of Education, teachers
and faculty, students and
parents in the Dawson
County School System.
In his address, Gibbs
advised the graduates to
be the best people they
can be, turn to the Bible
for answers, be aware that
there are good and bad
people in the world, be
financially responsible,
find employment and get
a firm understanding of
personal responsibility.
As he wrapped up his
address, Gibbs encour
aged the graduates to
always remember where
they came from and
thanked the school sys
tem for its support
throughout his eight years
as superintendent.
“I am grateful for the
opportunity to be here
tonight and wish you
nothing but the very best
in the future,” Gibbs said.
“We leave here tonight
stronger than ever. No
matter where you go,
never forget where you
came from. Once a Tiger,
always a Tiger. I pray that
God will bless you in
your next chapter of life.
I love you Dawson
County — thank you for
a great eight years.”
The speeches were fol
lowed by the presentation
of diplomas and the trans
fer of the tassels on the
graduates’ caps from
right to left to symbolize
their official graduation.
The commencement cere
mony ended with a per
formance of the Dawson
County Alma Mater, and
graduates threw their caps
in the air while fireworks
went off on the end of the
football field.

Doggy Spotlight
Meet Mica! This sweet boy is high energy, full of life, and loves people.
If you are looking for the kind of dog that will get you up and make
you go in the morning, Mica is your guy. Mica is incredibly friendly to
human companions, and bodes well for a family environment.
Our sweetie pie loves walks but is built to RUN. He doesn’t just want to
go for a leisurely stroll and he’s more suited to an avid jogger/runner.
He will need leash work, as he is a bit of a puller right now buts its just
because he LOVES being outside and wants to smell and see everything
he can. Mica has the potential to go to a multiple dog home so long as
proper meet and greets take place first to ensure compatibility. Come
meet our high enerergy boy today!
Mica is about 5 years old and weighs 52 pounds.
