Valedictorian to EHS grads: 'Your mission should always be to make the world a better place'

EDWARDSVILLE - The 2018 Edwardsville High School graduation was memorable with presentations by valedictorian Jason Pan, senior representative Marcus Kwasa, senior class president Joseph Paolucci and student council president Michael Taplin.

Orchestra Director Victoria Voumard led the processional and recessional music at the event with her EHS students and that was also very well received and performed with excellence.

Edwardsville Superintendent Dr. Lynda Andre said about the graduation: "I again want to congratulate the 540 Edwardsville High School graduates from the Class of 2018 on their important accomplishment. We wish you well on the next chapter of your educational careers."

Pan inspired the students with his valedictorian address. Both he and Kwasa emphasized the need to move ahead after graduation to make the world a better place.

Pan inspired his fellow classmates to realize that their success won’t be defined by popularity or social status.

“Success is remembering to make sure everyone we cross paths with is a little stronger and better,” Pan said.

“The journey has been nothing short of incredible,” Pan said. “This time will be filled with memories and hard to leave behind. Everyone has proven our mission in life should always be to make the world a better place.”
