Class of 2011: San Ramon Valley High Graduates

At 's graduation ceremony on Friday evening, the class of  2011 and their friends and families celebrated the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

"We are limitless," said senior student speaker Veronica Trujillo. "We decide whether to be something or to simply exist. All that will matter is that we find out who we are and try not to be afraid of it."

Another student speaker, Chad Rebarber, confidently assured his classmates that every single one of them would make an impact on the world.

"Our school, simply put, breeds champions," Rebarber said. "We have all been infected with San Ramon Valley Syndrome, also known as Green and Gold Plague; symptoms include integrity, honesty, leadership, responsibility... and a weird obsession with wolves. It is our responsibility to spread this illness. It is our responsibility to make a difference."

The ceremony also included musical performances by students, including a rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the school's choir, Jordin Sparks's "This is My Now" performed by Kelsey Makaiwi, and "What a Wonderful World" performed by Chili Corder, Sean O'Hara and Jared Keil.

The graduates were obviously in high spirits; they kept up a game of tossing beach balls to each other throughout the ceremony, and even broke into dance at one point. In keeping with the theme of "Aloha San Ramon!" many of them wore Hawaiian leis along with their traditional caps and gowns.

Faculty speaker Roberta Tong, who will be retiring this year, proudly told the graduates, "Your hearts are enormous; your thoughts run deep. I am proud already to be able to say, 'I knew you when ...' It warms the cockles of my heart to imagine what you will continue to do."
