Graduation night
Friday, June 13, 2003 marked the end of a 12-year journey for the Anacortes School District Class of 2003. This class was “under construction” during elementary, middle school and high school years as several district buildings were remodeled and renovated. Class motto was: “Life is not about the breaths you take. It is about the moments that take your breath away.” Class officers were Krystel Salandanan, President; Blake Bethards, Vice President; Alyssa Willey, Secretary; Andrea Bearce, Treasurer. Photos at right include (top to bottom) Mallory Wold and Mark Berentson walking through the ceremonial arch; senior video producer Ian Clark sharing a moment with Dr. Bill Bethards, father of commencement speaker (student choice) Blake Bethards; Shell Foundation scholarship winner Tasha Holmes and her proud parents, Jeff and Diana Holmes; graduate Yuri Zotov and his dad, John Hein. The ceremony took place in Charles Williams Gymnasium at the high school.
