The 94th commencement for Atascadero High School was held Thursday evening in Memorial Stadium. Approximately 300 students received their diplomas.
“Family and Friends, on behalf of the class of 2015, I would like to welcome you to our graduation ceremony,” 2015 Senior Class President Hannah Sharon said after the 300 graduates made their way from the gym to the football field. “We want to thank each one of you for the impact you have had on the lives of these young men and women, and the love and support you have given that has gotten them here today, we truly appreciate it.”
Hundreds of people packed the stands on both side of the field yelling words and holding colorful signs of encourage for the students ending their secondary education and getting ready to embark on the chapters of their lives.
Atascadero High School Principal E.J. Rossi will also leave the school and assume the role of assistant superintendent of education in the district office.

“I have been asked a lot recently, ‘what will you miss most about being principal?’ Without a doubt, it is you, the students,” Rossi said in his speech. “As a teacher, I only had one view of students in my class. If you were good at math, that was the version of you that I saw, while if you struggled with math, I only knew that one version of you. As a principal, I am blessed to be able to see students shine in the many areas they are strong in. I get to see you excel on the field, the court, or the mat, shine on the stage and in the class, and shower each other with love and support throughout the day and across the campus.”

The 2015 commencement speaker was Terri My-lan gave an inspiration speech on where the students have been, what they’ve accomplish and what the future can hold.
“I don’t know about you, but view and the future, looks good from here,” My-lan said.
Rossi awarded the class’ salutatorian and valedictorian. Alexander Cooley was named salutatorian with a 4.41 GPA. Jack Fisher was named the Class of 2015’s valedictorian with a 4.46 GPA.

“Graduates, during your last four years at Atascadero High School, you have each grown and acquired new qualities, and I am certain that as you continue on in life, these new qualities will be turned to good advantage,” Rossi said.
After Atascadero Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Deborah Bowers certified the class of 2015, district trustees presented diplomas to two swiftly moving lines of graduates decorated with their accomplishments and trinkets showing their personalities.
