Principal Jonathan Williams first welcomed the crowd, which was the largest it has been the last few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Class president Macy Cassady then gave opening remarks.

There were two special performances today. Amelia Allen played a medley of "Bach Cello Suites" on her cello, and Alyssa Lindsey sang "You're Gonna Miss This" as her father played the guitar.
