Everyone the 2020 ceremony

ceremonies today as we celebrate the hard work,

perseverance, and achievements of the class of 2026.

At this time, I would like to call.

At this time I would like to call up

to the front the seniors

of the Natick High School choral program for the singing

of the school's alma mater and our national anthem.

You, yeah.

To the, our heart

shall Bring to the

through all

Before the red and blue,

and they roll colors high

and bring the,

At this time, would you all please rise for the singing

of our national anthem?

Oh, say, can you see Boy?

The Dancer are like What?

So proud at the Twice

Lights, who's strip

and bright stars.

The the, the

where the

and the rock

that our flag

was that.

Now to deliver the welcome address, I am pleased

to introduce Dr.

Melissa Bash, superintendent of the Natick Public Schools,

Good evening, graduates families, faculty, staff,

school committee members, dignitaries and guests.

I also want to thank the local, state and local leader

and state leaders joining us tonight

for their continued support

for Natick students at our schools.

I'm Dr. Melissa Fash, your proud superintendent,

and tonight it's my true privilege

to celebrate Natick High's class of 2026.

Rachel.

Over the course of this year,

I've had the opportunity to attend sports games, art shows,

concerts, classrooms

and community events across this district.

And one thing I can tell you

with great confidence across this community,

people are very proud of native kids, your educators,

coaches, advisors, families, staff members and neighbors.

They talk about your talent, your work ethic, your kindness,

your creativity, and the way you show up for one another.

Not because you got everything right all the time, not

because everything always came easily, but

because of the way you carried yourself through challenges

and supported one another and kept moving forward.

There's a certain steadiness to this class.

You work, you contribute, and you figure things out

and you understand

that something can get lost today in a world built

around shortcuts, quick reactions and constant comparison.

Most worthwhile things take time.

Recently I've been reading

and watching quite a bit about Theodore Roosevelt.

Don't worry, this is not turning into AP US history.

But what I did has stayed with me

as I thought about this class.

Roosevelt wrote about quote, the person in the arena,

unquote, the one willing to try, willing to risk failure,

willing to put themselves out there.

Even when success is not guaranteed.

That image really holds up

because it's easy to critique from the sidelines

and it's harder to audition, to compete, perform, apply,

lead, create, speak up, and to start over

after you're disappointed.

But that's what growth actually looks like.

And honestly, your generation has had to do a lot of that.

You grew up in a world where everybody appears successful

all the time, where people post the highlights

and maybe hide the hard parts when there's pressure

to always sound certain, confident and impressive.

But real life is usually not so polished.

Most people are figuring out things as they go.

One thing I hope you carry with you

after tonight is that who you become is more important than

how impressive you are years from now.

People are not going to remember your GPA,

your follower count

or whether you had every step

of your future mapped out at 18.

They'll remember if you were reliable,

whether you treated people decently,

whether you stayed grounded, when things got difficult,

and whether others could count on you.

Roosevelt also said, people do not care how much you know

until they know how much you care.

That applies everywhere at work, on teams, in friendships,

in families and communities.

The people who leave the strongest impression are usually

not the loudest one in the room.

They're the people who show up

and who stay curious, who work hard without needing

attention for it and who make other people feel respected.

And this class is filled with people

who are already beginning to build lives that way.

Some of you're heading to college, some of you into careers,

military service, apprenticeships, travel,

or maybe your plans are still taking shape.

Every single one of those paths is valid.

There's no single formula for building a good life,

but there are still questions worth

asking yourself along the way.

What do you want your life to stand for?

What kind of relationships do you want to build?

What kind of reputation do you earn when nobody's handing

out grades, awards, or titles anymore?

And maybe the biggest question is this,

when people leave your presence,

are they better because you were there?

Wherever you go next, I hope you'll stay willing

to try difficult things.

I hope you stay open-minded.

I hope you protect your sense of humor,

and I hope you continue building relationships in a world

that increasingly pushes people apart.

The world does not need more people sitting safely on the

sidelines criticizing others.

It needs people stepping into the arena, people

who contribute and try who take responsibility, adapt

and keep going when things get tough.

Tonight is a celebration of what you've accomplished so far,

but it's also a starting point.

Class of 2026. Your families are tremendously proud of you.

Your school is so very proud of you

and your community truly believes in you.

Congratulations and as you leave Natick High School

and move into whatever comes next, my wish for you is this,

that you continue to step into the arena

that you build lives filled with strong relationships,

meaningful work, curiosity

and experiences that challenge and change you.

That you stay grounded in

who you are while remaining open to who you're becoming.

And that years from now, when people describe you,

they speak not only about what you achieved,

but about the kind of person you chose to be.

Congratulations. Class of 2026.

Thank you, Dr. Stash.

Next I would like to call up Matt Brand, the chair

of the Natick School Committee

to present the Awards of Excellence.

Good evening, class of 2026.

I am here to present the awards

for outstanding academic achievement.

But first I'm gonna share a few thoughts.

I feel immensely proud and I know I'm far from alone.

I feel proud knowing what you've all achieved to get here,

not just in school but in life.

I am proud to know so many of you

and confident that you have a great chance

to make a difference in the world.

Whatever your plans are next, wherever you go from here,

you have a chance every day to make the world better.

Take a moment to think about a person

who has made a difference in your life.

Maybe that person's a teacher,

maybe a family member or a friend.

If they're a teacher, I bet you aren't thinking of them

because of what subject they taught.

It's probably because of how they made you feel,

how they made the classroom a good place to be

and an even better place to learn.

They made a difference in ways that you'll remember forever.

We all have people in our lives

who have made our worlds better.

It's almost never because of the things they do, but rather

because of who they are.

Now it's your turn.

And this is the part my daughters would say is too cringey

to include in a graduation speech,

but my daughters aren't up here and I am.

Each day you have a chance

to make a difference for someone else.

It won't always be easy.

There will be days you don't feel up for it,

but I believe you'll figure it out.

And when you do, the world is better.

I'm sure along the way you face challenges you thought

you could not overcome.

But here you are, thanks to your effort

and the support of the people closest to you.

You've done it after all that hard work.

You've made it to this moment.

Today marks the official end of your beginning.

And while that's an incredible accomplishment,

I have some bad news for you.

As you begin again, the challenges will continue.

Some might seem insurmountable,

but you maybe you won't get the job you applied for.

Maybe you'll lose a friend.

Maybe you won't get tickets to that Noaha Khan concert.

But there'll be more proud moments.

You will get a job promotion. You will make more friends.

Maybe. Maybe you'll even be lucky enough to get the chance

to speak at your daughter's high school graduation.

I believe in you. I believe that you are difference makers.

You can continue to make the world better

and I cannot wait to find out how you'll do it.

So here is a challenge for all of you

that even I know is cringey.

Go make a difference.

We all know you have it in you to everyone in the class

of 2026, including my daughter who is sitting in

that general direction.

Congratulations.

And now I'm going to read the names of the recipients

of the outstanding academic award winners.

Ava Cecile Bars. You can

Picture, picture, picture.

Krista, Emily, be

Sophie, Noel Forgery,

Kenneth Chu,

Michael Joseph, cap,

San

Samantha Marie McMorrow.

Alan Frederick Steinman.

Doris you.

Grace Jang.

Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Brand.

Now we will move forward to the graduation address given

by Miss Josepha blocker, principal of Natick High School

School Committee members, Natick, public school educators

and staff, families, friends, and of course graduates.

It is my honor as the principal of Natick High School

to address you for a few moments this evening.

Before we begin,

I wanna thank a few people supported the class of 2026,

beginning with the class advisors, Ms.

Jessica Sini and Ms. Becky Tramonti.

They helped the class officers for the last four years

with everything related to the class from collecting dues

to creating a magical prom night last Friday.

Next, I want to thank interim vice principal Trisha Ciao,

who seamlessly coordinated all the details big

and small that make this ceremony so special.

She has worked tirelessly alongside our custodial staff

and our main office team.

Thank you to them. As well

as our maintenance staff led by Mr.

Jim Rooney, Mr. DJ Morris, and Mr.

Bill Sprat, our team of administrative assistants led by Ms.

Michelle Daigle, our sound crew, led by Mr.

Joe Eel from all things audio, our student musicians led

by music department faculty, Mr. Craig Chisholm, Ms.

Bethany Spielman, and Mr. Scott Morrell

and our speech team readers

and coaches who are here today to read the graduates names.

They have prepared our student leaders.

We wanna thank Pegasus Broadcasting led

by Mr. Randy Brewer and Mr.

Caleb Wood who are broadcasting this ceremony.

To those of you watching from home, we'd like

to thank the Department of Public Works led

by Mr. Scott Bakari, who helped set up for today.

And last, but certainly not least, graduates, you did it.

Each graduating class leaves a legacy at Natick High School,

both in large and small ways.

And tonight I would like to talk about the legacy

your class leaves and what legacy means.

Ray Bradbury talks about legacy in his novel

Fahrenheit 4 51.

He says, it doesn't matter what you do, so long

as you change something from the way it was

before you touched it into something that's like you

after you take your hands away.

And as I think about the class of 2026, here are some

of the ways that you have touched NHS and our community.

First, you are leaders.

No matter what you chose to pursue, you stepped up to lead.

You paved the way as some

of our first Natick high school teaching assistants,

helping underclass students across various curriculum areas,

including our multilingual learners to math in theater.

For the first time in recent years,

you gave such strong proposals for student directed shows

that we put on two student directed productions.

You have taken a larger role in leading our ninth grade

mentorship program, running even more

of the welcoming process for our freshmen.

And you were among some of the first students in the state

to present at the Governor's Healthy Youth Summit,

commanding a room of your peers as well

as educators across the state.

You are also global citizens.

Bridging the gap in our collective

understanding of each other.

You participate in an online cultural exchange

with peers in Finland hosted those peers

when they visited the us.

Your studies have taken you to France, Spain, China,

Eastern Europe, the Galapagos, and Peru.

You've led workshops on equity, created culture fairs

and served on panels, educating your peers about cultures.

You have also fully devoted yourselves to language learning.

Tonight we are giving out more diplomas with the state seal

of Biliteracy than ever

before, indicating that many

of you are truly fluent in another language.

You have excelled academically and artistically.

In fact, over your four years at NHS,

we have almost doubled the number of AP exams

that we have given you.

Paved the way for that excellence.

You revived our science fair for the first time in 15 years

and led by class of 2026

Natick Team Radiance ranked third

amongst area schools in the Tenacity Challenge.

Your speech and debate team qualified for nationals

for the second year in a row,

and you had work accepted in the emerging young artists

and designers juried exhibition.

You have sung and danced your way to gold

and silver medals as part of West Street singers,

chamber singers, wind ensemble and concert band.

And you even beat our faculty in the recent faculty student

science and math bowl.

But Mr. Sanford asked me not to dwell too much on that one

glass of 2026.

You also know what it means to take care of your community.

You've led blood drives and coat drives and food drives.

You've stood up for students with disabilities

by raising $16,000 this year as part of the polar plunge.

And both competed and ran in the unified track

and field finals by serving Natick

and through Serve Natick.

You showed up and you showed us what it means

to take care of one another.

You are also distinguished athletes. Wow. Are you athletes?

You won the state championship in girls and boys soccer.

You won many individual championships in cross

country and track.

You represented Natick and nationals in track

and gymnastics.

You won the 30th Bay State League title in wrestling

and won Bay State titles in Swim and Dive.

And you won the MIAA unified Special Olympics track

and Field state championship

for an unprecedented four years in a row.

You took our dance and cheer teams to new heights

and showed good sportsmanship in large and small ways.

Winning awards for character from the Boston Bruins

and the MIAA.

You are beasts with the hacky sack in the courtyard, which

as a child of the nineties, makes my heart happy.

Though I'm not sure it fully qualifies as a sport.

And when one of you in a moment of poor aim

accidentally be Mr.

Hoy with an applesauce from two floors above

you were appropriately apologetic.

And I think he has almost forgiven you.

Even when one of our first senior pranks in recent memory,

when you left a garden

of plastic cutlery stuck in the front lawn,

you were kind enough to leave our custodians a note.

Please don't clean up. We will. And you did.

You are true characters and you truly have character

By all measures.

You have succeeded at fulfilling our portrait of graduate.

You are resilient. You know how to work together.

You show empathy for each other.

You show initiative, self-direction,

and strong problem solving skills.

And you are smart in insightful, and you show character.

We are so proud of you.

So as you leave us, I want to tell you a few things

that we have learned from you.

Each year. Our youngest

and oldest students are allowed to dress up for Halloween.

And this is one of my favorite days of the year.

For one of the last times I get to see our oldest students

with childlike joy working together

to bring joy to our school.

So here are the top 10 things I learned from the class

of 2026 Halloween.

One good things come to those who wait.

We watched you through the earlier grades,

patiently wait your turn.

And this year you came in some

of the most creative costumes from traffic cones

and construction workers to an army of minions.

Two things are most fun when you do them with friends.

It's hard to dress up

as a centipede if you only have two legs.

It makes most sense if you have friends around with you.

Three, life is more fun when there's a

soundtrack going in the background.

Plan your own music and grab a wireless speaker.

Four, whatever you do, go all in.

Wear the inflatable alien costume for eight hours.

Dawn, head to toe blue makeup as a blue man.

Whatever it is, don't go halfway.

Five, think carefully about who or what you want to be.

Is it your time to stand out as an individual

or be part of a group?

What is your role to play? Be purposeful in the choice. Six.

Sometimes it's okay

to try on an idea in the journey of becoming.

Most decisions aren't permanent.

It may require a little effort to change.

Seven, when you are having fun, others will too.

Our ninth and through 11th graders shared in your fun

that day and so did your teachers.

Eight. Don't take yourself too seriously all the time.

For some of the time, it's okay

to be a little goofy or silly.

Just know where and when.

Nine, no matter how old you get, there will be opportunities

to be childlike again.

And when those moments come, take them. 10.

The last thing I learned from the class of 2026, Halloween

is a good sense of humor

and a little chocolate can solve most things.

Class of 2026.

I am grateful for being part of your journey

and know that you will go on to do great things.

You have left a real legacy here

and we hope that you think fondly

of your time at Natick High School.

Please know that you will always be a member of the nest.

Thank you principal blocker.

Now let's welcome our class President Owen Ford

for the class president address.

You know, I sat and watched a speech last year

and thought, look how old Good.

Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you. I was gonna lean over.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Good service. Thanks.

I sat and watched a speech last year

and thought, look how old

and wise I'm gonna be when I

give this speech a year from now.

So as the old and wide pers wise person I was when I wrote

this, I had to decide what these final words

as a NAIC student were going to be.

I thought for a second I just rattled off jokes about

everyone's favorite economic teacher, Mr. Ford.

Talk about him boiling tea during class

or him wearing those giant over the ear

earbuds on his hall duty.

I mean, I, I had some material,

but it just didn't, it didn't feel right

because it wasn't how I wanted to talk about this town.

Making fun of my dad would be disingenuous.

I love him as a teacher, a soccer coach, and a dad.

He does so much to make this town better.

I appreciate him for that.

And so on the theme of appreciation, instead

of taking this opportunity to crack some jokes or to try

and come up with some life-changing advice, I'd like

to use it as one extended appreciation speech to Natick,

to Natick Public Schools to the class of 2026.

And to all of you sitting here today.

Now that is not really an easy task.

Pointing to just one thing

or just a handful of things that make this town

and our school special is not easy.

Sure, there are the obvious metrics,

the ones that look nice on paper.

Our overwhelmingly dominant sports programs,

including our state championship soccer teams this year,

our vast and varied academic success from speech

and debate nationals to our truly spectacular outcomes on

our standardized tests and our incredible results

for our widely awarded arts programs

with the West Street singers

bringing home the most recent win.

They've all been truly amazing to see.

But the way I see it, to list these all off

as distinct accomplishments is a failure

to acknowledge the bigger picture.

The success we have had is, as Ms.

Samara would say, statistically significant.

It isn't random. Our successes say something about our town

identity, about our culture.

The things I really value about this town are small.

It's the teachers who stay late,

even when their union contract says that they can go home

or run a club completely unpaid.

It's the unstoppable

Special Olympics teams that we've built.

And it's the thousands of people, young

and old parents of kindergartners to parents

of past graduates who volunteer around Natick as part

of our massive community service programs.

I mean, I probably take more pride in this than most do,

but having grown up as a part of Natick soccer

and continuing in the organization as a referee,

it is just astounding how we can put on one

of the largest tournaments in the state without paying a

single person an entire entire tournament run

only by volunteers.

And so as much as these themselves are things to be grateful

for the programs which we use every day, I think

that they serve a much more important role in our lives

that we often take for granted.

It provides us the kids, a community of leaders

and role models to aspire to emulate a town, to cherish

and to work for everywhere you look here,

there are role models and it is these people,

this community which has instilled in me the values

that I hold so dearly of togetherness, of civic involvement,

of personal sacrifice, and of a respect for traditions.

And so I'd like to wrap up on that note

of appreciation that I started with.

You have to appreciate that you're going to be a graduate

of Natick High School wherever you go next.

In fact, you are going to be a graduate

of Natick High School for the rest of your lives.

And so with the privilege of growing up in natick

of gaining the values that you have

and of living surrounded by people who care,

you now have the opportunity

to approach the world trying to build it.

How someone from Natick would, if I can offer one sliver

of wisdom today, it's for you to take advantage

of this opportunity to sacrifice your time, your comfort,

your sleep at night to make the world around you better,

to develop community

and love in your own lives

the same way it has been developed here for you.

And so, however this town showed up for you,

it is now your turn to show up for others in

that same deep caring way.

The mantle has been passed.

It is now upon you to take the work that the people

of Natick have done to support you

and to echo that in your future, to appreciate

what has been given to you, to be the person

that this community tries to create

and to choose to be the natick in others' lives.

Thank you and congratulations.

Gonna just lower this a bit. Thank you, Owen.

Next we have one of the senior addresses

by Nick Ellis, Bon Pharaoh.

Before I start my speech, I do wanna get a photo

of my class real quick.

Wrong way. Hold up.

Thank you. Hi everyone.

Classmates, families, faculty members and friends.

I'll be honest, public speaking isn't really my thing.

But if there's one thing I wanted to do

before graduating was to give a speech in front of my class.

And against all odds, here I am, try not to sweat so much.

I wanted to share a bill about why I decided to do this.

It's because I believe in setting goals.

For me, standing up here was a huge challenge,

but I realized that if I wanted to grow, I had

to push myself outside of my comfort zone.

It's wild how fast four years went by.

Seems like it was yesterday.

We were freshmen, or should I say fresh meat as we call them

from learning locker codes.

Raise your hands if you still don't know

how lockers fully work.

Come on. I'm expecting everyone to finding classes to try

to make friends without looking awkward.

We've grown a lot over these past four years from battling

the SATs and Acts.

Oh, and who could forget our first football game getting

canceled because it had mosquito disease?

Classic. And as seniors, the class

of 26 showed the best school spirit ever.

Just look at our sports game.

Who else could say they're part of one

of the top student sections in Massachusetts?

So to all my fellow classmates, I encourage you to chase

after the things that make you nervous.

Whether it's joining a club, I joined one,

went once, never went back.

Trying out for a team or just speaking up in class.

Don't let fear hold you back.

The feeling of accomplishment you get from achieving

something you thought was impossible is truly amazing.

I should probably never be trusted to give a field full

of 18-year-old life advice.

But if I could, I will leave you at this one thing.

It would be this. Never let fear stop you from

chasing dream you.

Sorry. Never let fear stop you from chasing

the life you dream about.

We only get one shot at this life.

So take risks, work hard, and go

after the things that truly matter to you.

Be remembered as someone who dared to dream big

and settle someone who settled for less.

I'm sure you've heard this before,

but in the words of John Lennon, you may say, I'm a dreamer,

but I'm not the only one.

I hope someday you will join us in the world.

We'll live as one.

As we step into this world, fill with challenges,

let's hold onto our dreams

and work together to create a better future.

May we be the generations generation that connects, accepts,

and leads with peace and understanding.

We'll carry these experiences

of our past four years at Na chii with us

as we move on to the next chapter.

Let's embrace the future with confidence, kindness,

and a sensitive venture.

The world is waiting for us. Class of 2026.

Congratulations and best of luck

to each and every one of you.

Oh, Nick.

Thank you, Nick.

Now I would like to introduce our second senior address

given by Ella Kelly.

Congratulations. Class of 2026.

We made it. We made it.

Despite the pages of late assignments, tests,

we really assumed we didn't need to study for.

And cold weather urging us to stay in bed

for a few more minutes.

I think I can safely assume that if anyone was in my place

and had to thank someone that helps them get

through these four years, they'd say their fear of failure.

Maybe their parents if they're feeling sentimental,

but mostly Duncan.

Really, I think everyone owes their year to Duncan.

As you leave Natick and move across the country,

or perhaps stay right where you are, you are expected

to grow and change along with your life.

And what a big change this is.

It's like the first, Tim, you changed your junk in order.

Think about the order you would get as a little kid,

a hot chocolate, maybe a colada,

and the dye would stain your lips and mouth.

All this with a donut.

Then came the day that you changed your order.

Picture it with me. You're in line.

A few people are ahead of you so you have time to choose.

And for a little kid, it's big change.

You aren't supposed to know

what you want right away says the elderly people

who always sit in the comfy chairs in the corner.

There's four people in line

and the man at the front gets a black coffee.

It's a stable choice, but he looks tired.

You still don't know what you want.

As the line moves up, the woman at the front gets a latte

with more caramel than actual coffee.

And the woman after that gets a refresher with lemonade.

All of a sudden you're at the front of the line.

A grumpy Bostonian lady is waiting for you to order.

And you are scared, but you choose your drink anyways.

Now, some of you spat out your drink as soon

as you took the first sip

and some of you haven't looked back on your hot chocolates

in S, the vast majority of you changed your drink

over the years, multiple times over.

And you'll do the same thing in your future.

You will change and grow and learn to be yourself.

It's scary, but so was changing your dunking drink.

You survived that. So you are going to survive this too.

Do what you love.

Be what you want to be and love your drink.

No matter how popular or niche it might be.

Get your matcha and go to your liberal arts college.

Order a cold brew on the way to your trade school.

Get a new drink every single day

because it's your order and it's your life.

You are still that little kid in the Dunking line

just taller and with the new knowledge that no matter

what you get, everything is going to turn out.

Okay.

Thank you Ella. I would like to introduce Corin Dior

and Maggie Lee, members of our speech

and debate team who will be announcing the names

of our graduates as they receive their diplomas.

Woo.

Come this way.

You can just boss us around.

Just boss because basically she doesn't believe me.

But even today I am like, we need to boss me around.

She was like, you tell me again.

I'm like, no, no

real doing okay.

You need water, please. You
