AFNorth International School’s graduating class has unique and diverse opportunities

that have stemmed from the amazing web of international friendships which have flour-

ished in our community. Our community is enhanced by the concoction of four defense

organizations (Schinnen, JFC, GK, Neiderheid) in the immediate area which spans across

two countries, all of which provide to our graduating class. Members of the class of 2019

have competed in a plethora of events which include DODEA sports, creative connections

and debate. AFNORTH has a combination of nine nationalities in the graduating class all

preparing for a new beginning. However, the strength of the relationships formed between

our students will remain strong, never to weather in the whirlwind of time. Our students

have plans to branch globally for their varied futures whether it be further studies, volun-

teer work or self-discovery, all of which are being equally supported by our encouraging

support system within the staff of our school. While many of these relationships will be

tested by the Atlantic Ocean and time zones, our students will overcome all the challenges

they may encounter with their now broadened world view. Whether our students head

home for their future or to a new adventure, one thing is certain, they will persevere and

will have the 2019 AFNORTH graduating class behind them.

Alconbury High School Alconbury, England

The end of high school. Wow. It is crazy to

think that I have spent the past four years

of my life running on ambition, caffeine,

and far too little sleep, and now it’s over.

I speak for all of the seniors at Alconbury

High School when I say that were it not

for the support of parents, friends, coffee,

and a good pair of headphones that we

would not be as successful as we have

been. I have seen my peer’s hard work

pay off with college acceptances, scholar-

ships, and extracurricular opportunities

that would make any teacher proud.

Next year my fellow seniors and I will get

to truly experience the world for our-

selves, not just from behind the screen

of the tiny community that Alconbury is.

Some of us will pursue dreams of music,

and art. Some of us will pursue law, a

military career, or computer engineer-

ing. Some of us will run and never look

back, some of us will walk backwards

into our new life, unwilling to lose sight

of familiar faces, of the safety net we

will be leaving behind. But we will all

remember all of the hours that we

spent in school, in these classrooms

that are always slightly the wrong

temperature. We will all remember the

essays, the red pen, the sleepless nights

and the failed tests. But I hope that we

will remember that high school has not

been all bad. I hope we remember all of

the endlessly funny and eternally stupid

things that we did when we were young.

I know that this sounds sappy, and ridiculous, and that this is too whimsical

to describe high school. But I don’t think

so. I write this in defiance of the teach-

ers who have told me that my writing is

too capital-r-romantic. I write this way

for all of the members of my class who

have spent the last four years playing the

Game of Grades. Play the game, write the

essay how they want, get the A.

Well, everyone, we have won.

The Ankara High School graduating class

of 2019 would like to express apprecia-

tion to our parents for their continuous

support and guidance. As children of

parents serving in the U.S armed forces

or of diplomats, we have spent our lives

moving from country to country. While

adapting to new environments is chal-

lenging, this lifestyle has allowed us to

see the world in a new light and taught

us to make the most of the opportunities

presented to us. We are honored to be

graduating from Ankara ES/HS, a school

where we have developed our intellectu-

al abilities and allowed us to expand our

quest for learning beyond the classroom.

Living in Turkey has enabled all of us to

get a sense of different cultures and has

opened our eyes to the world around us.

By participating in numerous community

service projects that help the literally mil-

lions of refugees who flee their war-torn,

oppressed countries, we understand how

fortunate we really are. We are grateful to

our parents for providing us with all the

tools necessary to succeed in the future.

As we embark on this new journey in our

lives, we will leave Ankara ES/HS behind

but will carry the memories and les-

sons that we have learned here with us

forever.

— Melissa Gillis, Senior Class President

Aviano’s graduating class of 41 students, somewhat larger than the last couple of years, has

accomplished a lot. Our Saints football team brought home the D-II Championship banner

this year, with the help of a distinguished group of senior players. Aviano seniors anchored

our continued success in the FIRST Robotics competition, qualifying for the national com-

petition for the third time in four years. The seniors worked together on a service project to

replant the planters in the front of the school. Four of our seniors will graduate as four-year

AFJROTC cadets, and Amanda Schaul will graduate from AHS after spending her entire life

attending Aviano’s schools. While we had more than our fair share of seniors who moved to

Aviano right before their senior year, we still maintain close friendships and a tight knit sense

of community. Saints strong, all day long!

— Kylie Delwiche,

Aviano High School SeniorClass President

It’s not easy being the big, scary, seniors

when there’s only thirteen of you in a school

of 160 students, but Ansbach High School’s

Class of 2019 puts up a relentless fight. As

the third smallest graduating class in DoDEA,

our seniors managed to complete 49 AP

classes, with an average of 3.8 per student,

and in addition to these AP courses, we

dominated the Division III Football League

with a championship finish, 7 All Europe

awards. In addition, our class participated

in numerous extra-curricular activities such

as community theater, Model United States

Senate, National Honor Society, Robotics

Club, Gardening Club, Student Council,

German-American Conference, Creative

Connections, and ROTC. Furthermore, all

of our seniors have either been accepted

into college or enlisted into the military.

Our graduates are no strangers to taking on

a multitude of roles in the school, and will

have little trouble adjusting after graduation.

The class of 2019 is ready to take on adult-

hood with our chins up and our bank ac-

counts ready! The seniors and the staff alike

have put in countless hours into preparing

our graduates and we can confidently say

that we believe we can do it! As a class, we’d

like to thank all the parents for the immense

support and pride they show every day

for us, and the school staff who raised and

protected us like one of their own. The cubs

became the Cougars!

Bahrain Elementary High SchoolManama, Bahrain

Bahrain School is one of the most culturally diverse settings

within our country. As a community, we have many differ-

ent nationalities that come together as one. At BMHS, we

have a little something for everyone. From performing arts

to robotics-it’s all there. We have many different programs

our Falcons are able to participate in. Dramafest; a theatrical

conference in Germany, ISLI; a leadership institution, and

STEMposium; an educational affair that revolves around

the practice of science, technology, engineering, and math.

With all of these opportunities at our fingertips, we can

truly explore the depths of our interests. Personally, I came

to Bahrain School when I was fifteen years old. The kind-

ness and support I received was overwhelming. I remember

walking up and down the hallway on my first day, wonder-

ing if anyone would want to be my friend. More people

than I could ever imagine offered their helping hand to the

new girl.

We live on a beautiful island. I believe I can speak on behalf

of everyone residing here when I say that it carries an as-

toundingly positive atmosphere. Wherever you go, you are

always greeted with a friendly smile. Living in this country

has given us Falcons a newfound optimistic outlook on life.

Nothing will hinder our journey to success. Bahrain is quite

tiny; that’s no question. However, this school makes our

little corner of the world seem big.

Baumholder Middle High SchoolBaumholder, Germany

Baumholder’s senior class consists of 20 students,

which people would consider small. We know we are

small and we take pride in it! Having a class this size

allows us to be more familiar and considerate of one

another. But now we must venture on into the real

world where your coworkers or classmates are people

you never knew existed. However, as military children

we are no strangers to meeting strangers. Growing up

in this culture gives us the tools to finding success in a

society where you are expected to know everything.

This experience in our town has also given us the abil-

ity to be able to adapt to any type of lifestyle. Our life

in Baumholder truly became the unexpected due to

this. The memories created within this class will never

be forgotten and will always have a special place in

our hearts. Our futures are bright and full of hopeful

adventures, whether it is going to college, joining the

military, or entering into a job. The impact we have

left on each other has definitely influenced us to strive

for the best. On behalf of the senior class of 2019 in

Baumholder, we would like to thank our teachers,

friends, and family for our success in the past, present,

and future. Go Buccaneers!

Brussels American School “is a place

where teachers encouraged us to break

the status quo and define ourselves as

we choose.” Although our senior year

was largely unlike that of the seniors in

High School Musical, we were constantly

pushed by our teachers, admin, and par-

ents to always do our best in everything

we do. Our senior class is a make-up of

brilliant minded students moving on to

perform great things in the future. At

least 82% of our class will be continuing

on to a higher level of education, almost

50% of which will be continued in Europe

with the majority going to university

here, in Belgium. We are proud to have

multiple students among us that will be

attending prestigious schools, such as the

Naval Academy, Georgetown University,

and the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-

nology. Although it may seem as if we

spent the entirety of our high school ca-

reer with our noses shoved in textbooks,

a large portion of our class enjoyed the

extracurriculars provided such as varsity

sports, Mu Alpha Theta (math club),

and the Junior Science and Humanities

Symposia. The majority of our class par-

ticipated in and took the opportunity to

play sports against other DODs schools

and travel across Europe as we did it. As

a four year, lady brigand veteran, I can

vouch for the rest of athletes when I say

we will never forget the eight hour bus

rides to England, but that they will most

definitely NOT be missed. In addition to

the academic achievements made within

the classroom, we also have the honor to

be able to say one of our class members

went to JSHS nationals this 2019 and our

Mu Alpha Theta math club won first place

in the Purple Comet Math Meet. As you

look at our group photo, not only are you

looking at one of the biggest class sizes at

BAS with a mere twenty-eight students,

you are looking at the future engineers,

politicians, writers, financial advisors, and

physical therapists of the world. Once a

Brigand, always a Brigand!

The graduating class of Hohenfels is going to walk out of our school knowing that

somewhere out there is a future for each one of us. We’ll pack our bags and fly across

a huge ocean to touch down in places many of us have never been before, but rest

assured, we all know we have a “friend” in almost every state. Here’s to you, my fellow

buddies in battle. We know that we can call on each other if we need help with any-

thing even if we weren’t the closest in high school. We have had each other’s backs for

most of the past few years and we will continue.

I hope each of you knows you can come to me with anything, anytime. I hope every-

one’s biggest and best dreams come true because you all deserve to live a life where

you are honest to yourself and you pursue your passions.

Kaiserslautern High SchoolKaiserslautern, Germany

Kaiserslautern High School senior class of 2019 can only

be described as a community full of love, compassion,

and diversity. We all come from different walks of life,

but are still connected due to our military affiliation. We

have all had to learn to live overseas away from our fami-

lies, but it has made us open to change and new experi-

ences. As a Raider we are Resilient, Ambitious, Imagina-

tive, Determined, Empowered, and Reliable, all qualities

needed to achieve success. No matter if we were in our

old school where the roof was caving in, or our new 21st

century school, the class of 2019 has worked long and

hard to be the best students we can be. Since the first

day of school we have been waiting for the day we can

finally graduate, and it is almost here. Throughout all of

the homework, late nights studying, and stressful tests,

as Raiders we have pushed through. We would like to

thank our parents for encouraging us to reach our full

potential and help us along the way. The class of 2019 is

ready to take on the world and create a positive impact

on the future. “Once a Raider always a Raider!”

— Kevin Cronin

Senior Class President, Kaiserslautern High School

I remember my first day of school like it was yesterday.

I had on my big, oversized backpack filled only with

a folder and a pencil, with my lunch box in my hand

at my side. A big smile was plastered on my face,

upholding the appearance of unwavering bravery,

despite how afraid I was to be_ going to school. I

remember stepping, or rather jumping, up the high

stair and climbing onto that big bus full of students

who were just as anxious as me to begin this upcom-

ing school year. I remember waving at my parents

from my seat on the bus as it slowly pulled away and

transformed my life forever.

Everybody remembers their first day of school be-

cause it was the first time in Oll:f lives where every-

thing changed drastically. Life was no longer about

having fun and playing, but would soon become

more about working and learning and growing. We

would learn to adapt to our environments, as well as

how to be productive and successful. We would learn

that sometimes things are not what we expect, and

we would learn that our actions have consequences.

School was a place that was absolutely filled to the

brim with learning, but most of the things we learned

at school were not related to math or science, but

rather about life.

Don’t get me wrong, I learned tons of academic mate-

rial while at school, but I learned more than just the

curriculum. I learned that the derivative of accelera-

tion is a jerk, but a jerk is also what we call people

who push us on the playground. I learned all about

world history, but also learned that our history does

not define us, but rather what actions we choose to

take with our knowledge of the past. I learned all

about chemical bonds, but also the lifelong bonds we

make with our friends in school. I learned how to care-

fully choose my words when writing, but also that we

need to carefully choose our words with each other. I

learned how to navigate friendships and the rewards

of hard work. I learned to assume responsibility and

how to contribute to the world around me.

In the end, as I near my last day of school, I have

come to understand all that I have been taught over

the past thirteen years, not just chemistry or Roman

empires, but how to be me. Jeff.

It has been an excellent and engaging school year

at Lakenheath High School, filled with an abundant

number of experiences, opportunities, and memo-

ries we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Among

these are the senior crown day, the first day of school

where seniors wore crowns to demonstrate being on

the final rung of the high school ladder; our field trip

to Cambridge to “hunt down” the history of the city;

the senior service auction, a fundraising event where

seniors auction off their services; and a table-tennis

tournament, a school-wide competition sponsored by

the senior class.

In addition to these events, we are enthusiastic for

many upcoming activities: our final pep rally where

we will be recognized in the senior parade, the school

carnival at the end of the year, our senior family

picnic, senior breakfast, and, of course, our upcoming

graduation celebration on June 7, which will be held

at Ely Cathedral.

It is a difficult, yet exciting point in our lives because

of the numerous changes occurring in a short period

of time; we are getting ready for our final days as high

schoolers and quickly transitioning into future college

students, members of the military, and employees in

the workforce. We wish the graduating seniors of the

Class of 2019 a wondrous and fulfilling future!

Thank you.

— Senior Class Officers

As the current chapter of our lives draws to a close, we are left feeling very senti-

mental. Completing high school while overseas was a challenge, mostly because we

couldn’t drive. But as we adjusted to small class sizes and long bus rides to school,

we learned how to enjoy our new surroundings. Of course, let’s not forget about the

benefits to living overseas. 32% of our class attended an educational or performance

related conference in Germany, and about 72% of our seniors participated in a sport

this year! Even though our school is small, we still have many classes, clubs, and ex-

tracurriculars to choose from. Outside of school, we get to be close to amazing places

such as the islands of Ischia and Capri, the Amalfi Coast, and we have a great view of

Mt. Vesuvius. Even though at times we feel disadvantaged or even stuck compared

to our stateside friends, many of us can agree that an education completed overseas

has given us an amazing perspective of the world and its many different cultures

through the opportunity to travel.

We have worked very hard to get where we are, so let’s enjoy it.

Congratulations graduates!

Ramstein High SchoolRamstein, Germany

Ramstein High School’s graduating class is comprised of 230 dedicated, hardworking, and resilient students. We have all grown through the challenges of military life, making us unique to the majority of high schools in America. We have lived in every corner of the globe, from Virginia to Turkey to Japan and so many other places. Our Royals have seen it all, and that diversity and life experience make Ramstein High School’s Class of 2019 truly amazing. Our class has achieved a tremendous amount of success, winning five European champion-ships this year alone, earning several military academy appointments, and as of right now, 68% of our seniors have earned a GPA above a 3.0! We could not have ac-complished all of this alone. On behalf of the Class of 2019, I would like to thank all of the teachers, administra-tors, friends, and family members who have continued to support our class and ensure that we have a successful year. Because of everyone’s hard work, our seniors will leave Ramstein not only with a top-of-the-line education but also with a sense of pride. Pride that we come from the largest and most vibrant (maybe I’m biased) military community outside of the United States; Pride that we have created a family in our class of 2019. Pride that no matter where we go or who we become, we will always be Royals.

SHAPE American High School is like no other. It is home to students from over 18 different nations, that are intelligent, creative, talented, resilient, and strive for excellence in all they do. For the past four years, I have had the privilege to be a part of this amazing school. As freshman, everyone told us how fast high school would fly by and how much we’d miss it when it was over. What is there to miss about homework and quizzes and having to ask to use the bathroom? Pretty much nothing.

SHAPE American High School’s class of 2019 is like no other. It is full of innovators, dreamers, thinkers, doers, leaders, team players, and go-getters that strive for excellence in all they do.

For the past four years, I have had the privilege to be a part of this amazing class, the class of 2019. As freshman, we thought graduation would never come - as seniors, we thought graduation would never come, but against all odds, we’re here. After growing up with and getting to know this class I can honestly say my time with them has flown by too fast and I will miss them when it is all over. What is there to miss about a group of incredibly wonderful, kind, caring, smart people? What is there to miss about the class of 2019? Absolutely everything.

Rota Middle High SchoolRota, SpainTo those who helped us

along the way:

Well, here we are! Gradua-

tion has finally arrived and

for many of us, it could not

have come fast enough.

However, it is here now,

which causes us to look

back and reflect. We start

by reflecting on all the help

and encouragement that

we have received through-

out the years. Much of that

help has come from par-

ents and teachers whose

exceptional guidance has

led us to this moment.

Even though it may not

have always been

easy, you stuck with

us all the way and

for that we say thank

you. We owe you all a

tremendous amount, and

we hope to pay it forward

to the generations to

come. You have been true

inspirations to all of us and

influenced us all to go out

and change the world for

the better. Again, from the

bottom of our hearts, we

say thank you!

Sincerely,

Words cannot fully express

how truly grateful we are

for you. Without the guid-

ance and unconditional

love you so ceaselessly give,

we could not have made

it this far in our education

or in life. Not too long ago,

we were little ones refusing

to let go of your hands as

we entered the uncharted

doors of kindergarten.

And now it seems as if the

roles have been reversed,

as you now tightly hold

onto us as we face this new

stage of life. Know that

our futures are only bright

because of your efforts. All

your sacrifices have not

gone unrecognized; we are

wholeheartedly grateful.

The countless lessons you

have instilled in us have

shaped our characters and

values. The wise, resilient,

and intelligent adults we

have flourished into can

only be credited to you.

Thank you for never giving

up on us, allowing us to

grow and encouraging us

when our doubts get the

better of our faith. Al-

though the future may lead

us far from home, you will

be in our hearts every step

of the way.

When we moved from Bitburg to Spangda-hlem, we had no idea what was in store for us. I still remember the disappointment we felt when finding out that we’d be attending a temporary school built on borrowed facili-ties as a representation of our identity. To stu-dents that have come from Bitburg, or other real high schools, four box-sized containers didn’t look too appealing at first. And if that wasn’t bad enough, seniors had it worse because we had to graduate from there and knew we’d never step foot inside the newly built Spangdahlem Middle High School. But a little while after we settled into the school, we realized that we had way more oppor-

tunities on Spangdahlem than we did at Bitburg. And that moment defined how we took in more responsibility to make our last few years of high school the best they could be. From planning extravagant dances, to going on sports trips to Rome and England, to tie dying class shirts, we’ve been making the most of our stay here in Spangdahlem. One could say we might even have worn out our welcome. But we’ve definitely had a time to remember, and we’re ready to move on to the next chapter of our lives.

Spangdahlem High SchoolSpangdahlem, Germany

The class of 2019 would like to share and describe a few words that essentially de-fine the senior experience at Stuttgart High School:

Nostalgia: a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period. Many seniors, including myself, find themselves reminisc-ing about simpler times, whether that be last quarter or freshman year. Why is it that as we inch towards the finish line of high school, we look behind us and not forward?

Adversity: a state of contin-ued difficulty. In the midst of senior year, one can be overwhelmed by the reality of pending adulthood. The final lap of our high school career is a representation of challenges, whether it manifests itself in the form of nerve wracking college decisions, the long-debated case of senioritis, and im-minent life changes that lie ahead after graduation. Trust me, we’ll look back on this and realize we underes-timate ourselves.

Bittersweet: pleasant but including or marked by ele-ments of regret. For many,

this year marks our last time getting bruises from the tumultuous Disco Fiber, biting into döner kebabs, and getting drawn on in shades of red, green and blue during Fasching. We’ll mull over whether or not we took advantage of our time in the heart of Europe, and hope that in a later life we will find ourselves back here again creating new memories.

Aspiration: a strong desire to achieve something high or great. D1 athletes. Archeologists. Actors. Researchers. Musicians. Leaders. These identifiers only scratch the surface of the class of 2019’s impact on the world will be. We are destined for greatness. Whenever and wherever you decide to reminisce back to this everything-but-simple time, I urge you to remember that we persisted with the ambi-tion and drive to sprint headstrong past that finish line and make it our new beginning.

I remember my first day at Vilseck High. I was quiet,

scared, and anxious like every other freshman enter-

ing high school. It seemed as if this was a smaller

school than what I expected, but entering my first

class I was welcomed with a warm smile and a hand

out to help me.

As a military brat, you don’t expect to stay anywhere

four years. But I was lucky. In the last four years I de-

veloped relationships with teachers and staff mem-

bers, sharing the greatest memories. They taught

me more than just literature, math, or history. They

taught me about Romeo and Juliet’s love, no matter

the consequences. And that we as a new generation

still have the power to make a change in the world.

Even my peers have taught me that to cherish

every single memory. Whether it’s sitting in the SRI

sneaking Pringles out the can because you didn’t eat

breakfast. Or helping me if I’m short 50 cents for the

movie ticket. It’ll also be my friends that’ll help me

go through life trying to make the right decisions.

High school is no cup of tea with milk and honey,

but is more like black coffee with a teaspoon of

raw sugar, because you still have those bittersweet

moments. Such as, the bitter first day of your fresh-

man year and the sweetest moment when you walk

across the stage of your senior year. I have built a

family here, and I couldn’t ask for a better one. Thank

you Vilseck High School for taking your time for

teaching the Class of 2019! You will surely be missed.

— Katarina Rosas, Vilseck High School Class of 2019

Vicenza High School Vicenza, Italy

Dear VHS class of 2019,

After years of watching the clock tick by

so incredibly slowly, after all of the classes

we never thought we would get through,

all of the exams, hours of homework, and

stress, our time in high school has finally

come to an end. Reflecting back on the

past four years, we have made so many

memories, created so many bonds, and

experienced so many different things, and

I am so very thankful that I got to share

those moments with all of you. Now that

it is time to say our goodbyes as we go

our separate ways to all new life experi-

ences, I would like to say that I am so

proud of all of us for achieving such great

things. I have no doubts that all of you will

not only succeed, but thrive on whatever

path you have chosen to pursue. I want

to thank each and every one of you for

playing such a significant role in my high

school experience and I wouldn’t choose

any other group of individuals to gradu-

ate with. On behalf of the 2019 graduat-

ing class, I would also like to thank the

parents and teaching staff of Vicenza High

School for making all of this possible. We

appreciate your tireless efforts to push

us in the right direction, guide us on our

path to success, and to make such great

impacts on all of us that will last a lifetime.

So, as we close this chapter in our lives, it

is with confidence that we take the leap

to bigger and better things, but we will al-

ways remember our time at Vicenza High

School in Bella Italia. Congratulations to

the class of 2019!

With love,

— Lucy Reardon

On behalf of Wiesbaden High School’s Class of

2019, we would like to express our gratitude to our

families, friends, and teachers for their constant love,

support, motivation, and guidance. Upon reflection

of our time in Germany, we are incredibly thankful

for this amazing opportunity we’ve been given. We

feel so fortunate to have had the experience of living

in Europe and having been exposed to people from

all walks of life. It has made us more accepting and

tolerant of those around us which can only make us

better equipped to address the issues our genera-

tion will face. As we close this chapter in our lives, it

is with confidence and hope that we face our future.

We will always remember our time here fondly.

Congratulations to the Class of 2019!
