To the Oak Park and River Forest High School Class of 2021, Wow, you did it! You have all accomplished one of the major early milestones of your life: high school graduation, and to think you did so in the midst of a global pandemic. The fact that you are here today is a major step in your journey of life. One that should be recognized for its immense significance.

You are survivors. You have survived three levels of learning in the past 15 months: remote, hybrid, and in-person. You have survived mask wearing, social distancing, emotional ups and downs, and yet, through it all, you persevered.

E.E. Cummings said, “It takes courage to grow and become who you really are.”

Moreover, by that courage you have shown that you are not only survivors . . . you are

warriors! You are tougher than anything life throws your way. Please never doubt that!

interview table and through our racial equity policy and more. You are leaving a legacy.

I say to the parents, family members, faculty, and friends that before us sits a legacy of young people who have shown not only self-confidence, determination, and grit, but also perseverance and resiliency when faced with adversity. They looked it in the eye and took it on.

In closing, you have seen and survived so much, and you have responded with grit and determination. I challenge you now to take the reality you were given and turn it into something better. Class of 2021, as you look back on the past four years, you will be amazed at how much change has taken place within you. Your perspectives, your expectations, what drives you, and the realization of just how far you have come.

Now is your time!

To the graduates, thank you. Over the past four years, you were diligent in having your voices heard so that the students to come could benefit. You told us and we listened, and you are leaving a legacy.

I believe that every student who walks through our doors leaves a mark on our school for those students who have yet to walk through our halls. The impact and the power your voices have had on the changes here at Oak Park and River Forest High School goes without saying.

Graduates, because of you, we now have safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students; in December, a new Student Resource Center, a place where our Black and Brown students can feel a sense of belonging and are not judged by their hair or the clothes that they wear. A place where access and opportunity are the norm. Your voice resounds at the

A quote from an unknown author states: “Today you will close the door to the past and open the door to the future. Take a deep breath, step on through and start the next chapter of your journey. Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

I have been honored to serve as your superintendent for the past five years and I am even more honored to share this moment with you as you embark upon the next phase of your journey and me upon mine.

Thank you.

Dr. Joylynn Pruitt-Adams Superintendent

Celebrating what we’ve lost, too Surviving high school.

We’ve all got a story, or dozen, around that theme.

DAN HALEY

But the Class of 2021 will win all future debates about just what it took to get to graduation in the heavy weather of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an excerpt of her graduation day speech above, Supt.

Joylynn Pruitt-Adams rightly pulls out the descriptors: grit, perseverance, resilience.

She may have overlooked moxie.

All true. And the superintendent correctly extends the credit beyond students to include their parents and certainly to faculty.

But for all the resilience we’d not be telling the full story unless we referenced the abiding pain, isolation, failure and doubt that were also the stressed out lives of so many of our kids and those families across the past 15 months. Pretty much unfathomable what we have all come through. And what some of us haven’t entirely come through.

It is a moment certainly to celebrate. And the nature of the celebration, in person, with family, was closer to normal than any of us would have expected just a few months ago. Credit our public health sacrifices. Credit the science which brought us the vaccines so quickly.

Nothing wrong though to note the losses endured. The shared theater performances in the OPRF auditorium. The breakthrough moments in a school lab. The camaraderie of that final year when the hometowns were most everything, where the friendships abiding since elementary school turn toward consideration of a much wider world.

We’ve all given up a lot to make it through the only pandemic we will hopefully ever face. This makes the Class of ’21 altogether unique and remarkable. Launched through a shower of meteors.

Launched through a crucible of pain and possibility.

And now on to what is next for each of you.
