Ike grads consider “infinite” possibilities for their future
The future is wide open for the Eisenhower Class of 2023
“I know that infinity is no longer just an answer to a math problem, but can represent a basin of possibilities,” commencement address speaker Jacob Maurer said. “Out of the possible paths out there out of all the infinite things you can do with your life after today I hope you find success in finding the one path that gives you the most joy.”
Senior Lucas Mazurek said that while an unknown future can cause discomfort, Ike grads should embrace the change given all of their accomplishments.
“I know that change can be scary,” he said. “It can be uncomfortable, even painful at times. But it is also necessary if we want to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come. And do, I urge you to embrace that discomfort, lean into it, and to use it as a catalyst for positive change.”
Principal Brandon Manzella stressed the accomplishments of the class:
- 304 seniors are graduating with honors
- 231 seniors are UCS Academic Scholars
- 120 Students are UCS AP Scholars
- 88 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.
- 5 National Merit qualifiers of which 3 Commended Students 2 semifinalists
- 84 Valedictorians and 1 Salutatorians.
“You are an impressive group and equally impressive as individuals,” he said.
Superintendent Robert Monroe reminded graduates that their experiences both in and out of the classroom will continue to define their future.
“I encourage you to continue chasing and following your interests” he said. “Because as I'm sure you can recognize, for as much as you learned in your studies during your time here, you learned just as much through finding and developing those passions as well.”
Board of Education Vice President Denyeal Nesovski, speaking on behalf of the graduating senior parents, reminded graduates that they will always have strong family roots no matter throughout their future.
“We've given you everything you need to know and now it's time for you to set out on your own,” she said. “Have courage, be kind, and never forget all of the people here in this room that are cheering you on and supporting you. And call .... often!! I speak for every family member in this arena.”
