The road for Colleton County High School Class of 2011, according to the sa-lutatorian and valedictorian was not always easy, but the lessons learned along the way will guide the students toward success.

“The road has been long, the journey tough,” said Trey Black, salutatorian, remind-ing the students that high school is a brief interlude in life. He called the class spe-cial for being the last one to graduate from the building that is now the high school, and because it was the first to participate in the GEAR UP program from middle school to graduation.

Black challenged the class to strive to be the ones who

change and mold the world “from what it is to what it can be.” He called on his class-mates to “tear down walls of injustice that stand between us and success.” He said in closing, “We, the Class of 2011, promise to make our mark on the future.”

Valedictorian Dani Sexton said with graduation, the class begins its trip on the su-per highway of life. “We may be afraid to get on the ramp,” she said, but “we will find the right lane.”

Sexton suggested to her classmates, “Be mindful al-ways to take the best route to succeed.” She also asked that they “embrace an attitude of possibilities.”

The Saturday morning ex-ercises at a crowded Cougar Stadium also had spectators listening, as Kathleen Russo,

third in class ranking, offer-ing the invocation. “We are so thankful for the educators who have taught us and fami-lies who have loved us,” she said. She closed with “Live responsibly and to God be the glory.”

Morgan McCaskill, student council president, offered the benediction after every student had his or her name and major accomplishments announced while walking up on the stage to receive a diploma from Leila Williams, superintendent, and Wayne Shider, chairman of the board of education.

Upon leaving the stage, students received a white carnation from Cliff War-ren, high school principal, or Bridget Runyon, class guid-ance counselor.

During the program,

Sharena Ruth, class president, announced that the class gift is a the cougar statue that will greet visitors in the lobby of the new high school.

As Warren had asked, the crowd and the class, for the most part, remained quiet and respectful of the ceremony. The biggest cheer came when Robert Glover, who had been tutored at home since October while undergoing treatment for leukemia, walked the stage to receive his diploma.

Both top students of-fered inspirational quotes from Winston Churchill, and Sexton also quoted Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou, who said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Graduates at Colleton Pre-paratory Academy heard the same theme from classmates and the guest speaker dur-ing commencement exercises Friday evening — the people you meet all contribute to the person you are.

Salutatorian Brittan Carter said, “Hold true to what shaped your yesterday.” She, like Caitlin Crosby, valedicto-rian, attended Colleton Prep since kindergarten.

Crosby said with the les-sons the class has learned in those years, “We all have the necessary tools to venture into the world.” She also expressed the belief that “nothing will

change to the point where we no longer consider each other friends.”

Mitch Mongell, president and CEO of Colleton Medi-cal Center, told the class that family, friends, co workers, “They all mold you.”

He told of growing up in a small town, the deaths of his father and three grandpar-ents when he was a teenager, poor grades in school, lack of a clear career path. He found direction, he said, with guidance from family and en-couragement from people he encountered.

“Emulate the great points of leaders and forget the bad ones,” he said. Being a lead-er, he learned, requires “a kindness, persaverance and

tenacity.” Throughout your career, he told the class, “You need to be honest, you need to be tough.”

Mongell’s ending message to the students was “Love your family, love your friends, and, most importantly, love yourself.”

During her speech, Carter thanked her parents and her friends for their support and caring. She named each class mate and listed the trait that most defined that person to her — good nature, enthusi-asm, diligence, loyalty, cre-ativity, a kind heart.

She was also thankful for “the wonderful opportunities we were exposed to here.”

Crosby challenged her classmates to “Live without

regrets. Laugh about the small problems and pray about the big problems.”

The ceremony also includ-ed the chorus singing “Time of Your Life” and Jennifer Bratsafolis, head of school in her first year, presented the Headmaster’s Award, given each year for spirit, at-titude and actions that helped make the year a success. She praised the “enthusiasm, op-timism and leadership” of the recipients Tabor Copeland and Victoria Rizer.

The Rev. Barry Morehead of Ruffin Baptist Church offered the invocation and benediction. Philip N. Rizer, chairman of the academy’s board of directors, presented diplomas.

Dani Sexton was a sev-enth-grader when she en-rolled in school in Colleton County. Her goal to be first in the class started then.

“I’m so relieved it’s over,” she said.

In middle school, she watched her classmate Trey Bailey get all the awards and she decided that she wanted to be that person. In high school, she was ranked first in the class from freshman year to graduation. (Bailey ranked sixth in the class).

She maintained her top ranking while taking three Advanced Placement classes — art, calculus and European history — the last semester. The number one spot was in question for just awhile, “I kind of slacked off and I shouldn’t have,” she said. Senior year was an “overload” with AP classes, National Honor Society and Student Council. “It was school and extracurricular activities, I didn’t have a life.”

Her plans for life after high school include finding a summer job, then heading to the University of South Car-olina Upstate, where schol-

arships and aid will pay for most of her educa-tion. Her real goal is designing web sites and graph-ics and studying art

at the College of Charleston, which she said is too expen-sive for first year. She has a portfolio of works ready be-cause art and drama are her “outlets,” and activities she plans to continue.

Sexton, who gave a speech at commencement, admitted “I’m not very good with word choice.” She did have words of advice for freshmen, and even middle school students. “The fur-ther you are ahead, the more leeway you have. Don’t get lazy your senior year, it causes you a lot of grief. Have fun.”

Asked if there were a quote that she keeps in mind, she said it comes from the movie “Something’s Gotta Give.” “When something happens to you that hasn’t happened before, don’t you at least have to find out what it is?”

At Colleton Preparatory Academy, the top seniors are both looking toward the same career, nurse anesthe-tist.

Caitlyn Crosby, valedic-torian, plans to obtain a bachelor’s degree in nursing at Clemson University, then continue for the two years it takes to become a specialist. “It was her idea,” Crosby said, pointing to Brittan Carter, salutatorian, sitting beside her.

Carter is headed to the University of South Caro-lina to major, she thinks, in biological science. She isn’t “totally sure” about her ca-reer path, but right now, it’s a nurse anesthetist.

Both girls have attended CPA since kindergarten, both worked for many years on obtaining good grades, as evident by both serving as graduation marshals (two per class with highest grade point averages) since ninth grade, and both consider the school a part of their fami-lies.

Crosby, an only child and the daughter of Payton Crosby, is especially close to her school associates. Her mother, Leann Crosby, died when she was in the eighth grade.

“During that hard time, they were constantly by my side, they’re still by my side,” she said of both stu-dents and staff.

Crosby visited a lot of schools before deciding on Clemson. She has already met her teachers and her roommate and many of the students who will be a fresh-men group.

“Forty students is big-ger than CPA, but not that crazy,” she said.

She added while “I’m cer-tainly going to miss it, I am

ready for new experiences, I’m very excited.”

Carter said she visited “tons of schools” in South Carolina and Georgia before deciding on USC. “I love the campus, everything is right together and,” she stressed, “it’s in a city.”

She, too, is ready for a change, although she has appreciated the closeness of students and staff at the school. “You just feel so comfortable,” she said.

The daughter of Paige Bates and Garrett Carter, she has two siblings and two stepsisters attending CPA. She also has three other stepsiblings.

While neither senior could think of a particular memory from their 13 years at the school that stood out, they both have mementoes.

Carter said, “I still have my white mortarboard,” from kindergarten gradua-tion and her mom has all the newspaper clippings of her softball career. In addition to playing for CPA, she has participated in a traveling softball league since 12, and is this summer.

“My dad keeps a bunch of stuff in a box,” Crosby said. “It’s going to be my job to make it presentable.”

The top seniors had ad-vice for younger students, particularly freshmen. Crosby said, “Study hard, but don’t make that your only priority, cause you’ll get burned out.”

She also admitted she has worked toward being first in the class since sixth grade when she overheard a teacher tell her father that if she continued on the same academic track, she would be class valedictorian.

Carter’s advice was to “just try to work hard and keep your mind focused on school. Have fun, too, so it’s not all just school work.”

Chelsea Douglas said home-coming each year was her favorite part of high school. So, it should not have been a shock when she received the Spirit of Colleton County High School award during the senior awards program May 17.

The tailgate party for se-niors, she said, was “worth waiting for. It was a lot of fun.”

Her efforts throughout high school were, she explained,

“to get students not involved involved to show them how much fun it can be.”

“I liked to help with a lot of school stuff and cheer stu-dents on,” she said, and she meant all groups, mentioning DECA at Thunderbolt Career and Technology Center, not just athletic teams.

She won’t stop cheering for a school anytime soon. Following graduation, she plans to take a speech class at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie this summer. Then she’ll continue at the Walterboro campus for

two years and transfer to USC Beau-fort to earn a bachelor’s degree in ear-ly childhood education.

“I really want to teach here,” she

said, but will go where she can find a job. Although she has no siblings, she has lots of relatives and has spent time with the younger set shadow-ing a kindergarten teacher, working with little kids at

Vacation Bible School and babysitting.

To the younger students, she has some advice. “Get involved in the right school activity and get serious about academics.”

If a student slacks off fresh-man year, she explained, it is hard to catch up and at the end of a high school career, you may find the results are not what you wanted.

“Keep a balance all through high school,” Douglas said, with studying, activities and fun. “It’s about managing time really,” she said.

One of LaPorsha Smalls’ last acts as a senior at Col-leton County High School brought many students to tears — more than once. Her project also brought funds to the Student Council.

“I knew there were going to be wet faces,” she said of the 12-minute video she did that was shown at the con-clusion of the senior awards program.

It was so popular that stu-dents immediately began ask-ing for a copy. It was shown during lunch hours the fol-lowing day and sold, with all money raised benefiting Stu-dent Council.

“I always wanted to do a video,” she said. She started months ago and asked stu-dents in person, via facebook and twitter to send photo-graphs of senior activities.

She was particularly in-terested making sure those seniors not often in the spot-light, groups that didn’t make the yearbook last year, such as the track team, and groups not always featured were given attention.

“I’m not everywhere so I

had people send me photographs and videos to help me with things I couldn’t capture,” she said. She did the techni-cal stuff and added inspirational songs, including “Closer to My Dreams,” and “I’m Not Gonna to Cry.”

If the music didn’t bring on the tears, the featuring of classmate Robert Glover, who was diagnosed with leukemia in October, did.

His story, she said, “hit home and brought us closer as a class.” Glover completed his class work at home while undergoing treatment and did graduate with the class on Saturday.

“I wanted to do something for the senior class,” Smalls said. It was the first time a video had been made that tried to record the year.

“Every single person, I loved them to death,” she said, adding she knows a lot of the members of the class of almost 300. “I try not to stay in one group,” she said,

while still close with a “circle of friends.”

She said she will miss the people but not the uniforms. “I’m probably going to burn these uniforms,” she said.

She hopes to find a summer job to have money to purchase a whole new wardrobe, one that shows her personality.

In the break before school, she will also take the cruise to the Bahamas with the calcu-lus class and wants to serve as a counselor at Palmetto Girls State.

Smalls also wore another uniform during high school, that of a Band of Blue mem-ber, this year serving as an assistant captain.

She said that activity re-quired the most time, but she

worked hard “to be more ver-satile than just a band kid.” Band did, she admitted, help her with “planning and being organized.”

Because of band, she added, there is “nothing in college I won’t be able to handle.”

Smalls leaves for the Uni-versity of South Carolina Up-state Aug. 14.

Some students have sug-gested she develop her video skills, but she plans to major in English and minor in Latin. “I want to understand the English language a little bit better,” she said.

Her education plan leads her to law school and once she has that degree she wants to specialize in sports and en-tertainment law.

It was a big surprise to Morgan McCaskill to receive the Principal’s Leadership

Award dur-ing the Col-leton Coun-ty High School se-nior awards program earlier this month. It was one of

several local awards she

received during the evening event for invited seniors and their families.

In the statement Cliff Warren prepared, he said he remembers McCaskill as a freshman and has watched her mature as a student and a person. “I was very ner-vous as a little ninth-grad-er,” McCaskill said, who was entering public school after attending Colleton Prepara-tory Academy from kinder-garten to eighth grade. “I got involved with lots of things and made friends.”

Her four years at the school have involved “a lot of traveling and a lot of friend-making,” she said. She was very involved with student council and chorus.

As a council officer at the local and state levels, she at-tended a lot of conferences and knows students from all over the state. Because of her leadership role in the organization, she has been named to the association’s leadership hall of fame.

As a chorus member, she was involved in the planning and fund-raising of the cho-rus trip to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Involvement with those activities, she said, has taught her two things,

“definitely time manage-ment” and “people skills that help with interactions with teachers and students.”

“I wouldn’t change any-thing,” she said. “I’ve loved every minute with chorus and student council. I loved every second of it.” While she appreciates the “connec-tions” of a small town, she is ready to see other places and live in the big city. “I don’t think I’d be the person I am if I hadn’t been in a small town,” she said.

This summer, she has at least three trips on her calendar. One is a cruise with members of the honors calculus class. All year, the class has been using math skills to design and build a boat. On the cruise, they will tour the ship and study the mechanical systems, with behind-the-scenes tours. “As hard as the project was, it was definitely more relaxing than an Advanced Placement exam,” McCaskill said.

The other traveling is for a mission trip and a family vacation with her parents, Ken and Susan McCaskill.

She will enter the Uni-versity of South Carolina in August to major in manage-ment and finance. She plans to pursue a master’s degree in speech pathology.

“My mom is a speech therapist at Black Street Early Childhood Center. I think she has the coolest job in the world,” she said. “My dream job would be speech therapist in a neonatal unit.” She wants to help premature babies who didn’t develop the ability to suck or swal-low.

A speech therapist, she said, can work anywhere — hospitals, nursing homes, schools, private practice.

“I want to be my own boss,” she said.

There were 72 seniors in South Carolina this year to graduate from high school without missing a day of school in 12 years.

Alicia Linder, an honors diploma recipient at Col-

leton Coun-ty High School, was one of them. For that achieve-ment, applause from her classmates and the au-dience ac-companied

her walk across the stage during Saturday morning’s commencement exercises at Cougar Stadium.

According to the South Carolina Department of Education, there were about 44,000 students to receive their diplomas this year.

“It’s an extraordinary accomplishment to attend school for more than 2,000 consecutive days and never miss one,” said State Su-perintendent of Education Mick Zais. “These students should be proud, and the families and schools that supported them should be proud, too.”

Since 1979, seniors with 12 years of perfect school attendance have been recog-nized by the South Carolina Department of Education. They receive certificates and congratulatory letters from Zais.

This year’s 72 “perfect” students are from districts and high schools both large and small: Greenville County, seven;, Spartan-burg District 6, six; Aiken, Cherokee and Oconee, five; and Anderson District 5 and Pickens; four. For the second consecutive year, Dorman High had the most of any single school with six students. Gaffney High had five students, while West-side High had four. Boiling Springs High, Woodruff High and Sumter High each had three students who

never missed a day.Alexis and Asante

Dawkins, who graduated from Boiling Springs High School, became the fourth set of twins in South Caro-lina to graduate with perfect attendance over the last five years.
