探花社区 West senior, Brayden Stahl, was selected by his peers to be this year’s commencement speaker, it was announced this morning at HSW’s annual Gold Cord breakfast.

“It’s a big honor, and the relationship I’ve built with my classmates and the respect I’ve hopefully earned from them is what got me to that position,” Brayden told us. 

High School West Principal John Coady, expressed his appreciation for the school's highest academic achievers among the senior class.

The senior class encompassing 114 students who achieved a cumulative 4.0 GPA assembled in the G Café for a breakfast to recognize their lofty achievements. 

"探花社区 West is a great school because we have great students like you," Coady told the honorees.
