For the 16 graduates of McClave High School, Sunday was a time of rejoicing and tears as they prepared for the future.
One hundred percent of the students have plans to further their education, with some going to Texas, some staying in Colorado and some going other places.
Tears were shed by Nicholas Kuhns as he spoke, remembering each member of the class as well as the staff at McClave schools.
Kuhns was the salutatorian of the class of 2009 and he had fond memories of going to school in McClave.
Children in McClave aren't just raised by their parents, he said, they're raised by the community.
Kuhns wanted to thank the staff at the school, naming the "lunch ladies" in particular, who knew just how he wanted his biscuits and gravy done, as well as his parents and each member of the graduating class.
Giving the valedictorian address, Shelby Coen opened up a copy of Dr. Seuss' "Oh The Places You'll Go."
Reading excerpts from the book, which is suited to graduating students, she spoke of the highs and lows each member of the graduating class would experience.
The book speaks of starting out and the obstacles and joys of trying to achieve dreams.
Unlike any of Dr. Seuss' other books, the story speaks of the lows people can encounter while waiting for a call or a break.
"Don't ever let anyone make you believe you can't," she said, referring back to the McClave basketball season.
Some people said there was no way McClave could win another state championship, she said, but the team proved them wrong.
