Congratulations, Class of 2022!
Editor’s Note
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
C Jeff Allison
general manager Tryon Newsmedia LLC
ongratulations, Class of 2022! To say that the past four years have been tough would be an understatement. In addition to cramming for finals, working part-time jobs and feeling like the home stretch of high school would never end, you’ve also been dealing with a pandemic that left no corner of the globe untouched, including your school, friends and family. The memories of your your time in high school will surely help to prepare you for life ahead - as you go out into the world of work, college, the military, or whatever you choose to do. Your high school experience has been unique, to say the least! In these last few days before you don your caps and gowns, savor the feeling of freedom and accomplishment you’re experiencing. Marvel at the possibilities ahead of you. This moment is the culmination of a lot of hard effort; this
is what you’ve been working so hard for. You have arrived at the threshold of the rest of your life, and you’re ready to catch the wind in your sails. It’s a great feeling, isn’t it? Your future plans may take you out of the county, state or country, but wherever you go, remember that you’ll have a safe harbor here in the Foothills. This is always the place you’ll call home, and you’ll have friends and family here who love you and support you. Best of luck to all of you, and Godspeed. Without further ado, the Tryon Daily Bulletin presents to our readers the Class of 2022, from Polk County High School, Polk County Early College, Landrum High School, and Lake Lure Classical Academy.

T
o the Class of 2022: On behalf of the Polk County Board of Education and all of Polk County Schools, I want to congratulate our Polk County High School and Polk County Early College graduates, the Class of 2022. This is a very special time of year for you seniors and your families, and for us as teachers and staff. It is rewarding to see the culmination of your hard work, and we feel fortunate to have played a part in preparing you for a productive future. Commencement marks an end and a beginning. The coming weeks will go by quickly, as you finish exams, attend awards nights and prepare for graduation ceremonies. Take some time to reflect on the effort and commitment it has taken to get you to this point. Take pride in your accomplishments and realize you will need the same dedication and resolve to be successful going forward. I would also encourage you to join me in thanking your families, your communities, and the Polk County Schools educators who have helped you reach your goals. Know that we are very proud
of you and that your Wolverine Family is behind you all the way. As you prepare to embark on a new journey, set your aim high. We know you are going to do great things! Congratulations, Class of 2022! Aaron Greene, Polk County Schools Superintendent
