Alameda International High School's 68th graduating class turned its tassels at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on May 18.
"This is an amazing class and it's left an amazing legacy," said faculty speaker Mike Joseph. "After today you all join the real world, and I have two pieces of advice for you --; tell the people around you how you feel about them and live a passionate life."
The affection between the graduates and their teachers was demonstrated for all when Principal Susie Van Scoyk cried as she presented the class to board of education secretary Amanda Stevens.
Student speakers Eroj Tuladhar and Kiana MaKintosh highlighted the challenges each graduate overcame to finish school.
"I challenge all of us to walk out of here today with our dreams intact," Tuladhar said. "We all need to go out and find our purpose in the world."
