Photos: Over 50 Graduate From Adult Education

Dressed in traditional caps and gowns, and before a large, cheering, and applauding audience, over 50 students graduating from the Adult Education School, walked onstage at City Hall to receive their GED diplomas. Several politicians were present in the audience, among them were Minister and Deputy Premier Paula Cox, Minister Neletha Butterfield, Minister David Burch, and MP Dale Butler.

Before the actual presentations Salutatorian Lorenzo Estepa-Cooke spoke. He was followed by fellow graduates Lee-Anne Stephens, Jahmeiko Perkins, and Chantia Davis, each of whom spoke about their experiences as attendees at the AES. After a speech by alumna Ms Patrice Hayward, the students were presented with their diplomas. Several students then came back onstage again to receive prizes and awards for scholastic as well as other performances. Valedictorian Kai Wallace-Meyer addressed the graduates and Michelle Hutton gave the final vote of thanks.
