The award program was closed with a candle lighting ceremony. Principal Shields light the main candle on stage and gave the following address:
“Our candle on stage represents the light of our high school. It stands for the labors of the faculty and staff. We have worked to prepare you for your future. We are symbolically passing the light of our school on to each of you. As your candle is lit, think of the many years you have grown. Think of the experiences you have shared. Think of your goals and achievements. You have worked together, you have cried together, and you have laughed together. Now you are ready to move onto new experiences. But as you move, consider the foundations that have already been set in place for you…”
He continued with many more words of encouragement and knowledge, wishing the best for this graduating class.
Principal Shields concluded by saying, “Seniors, you are our future! Go and pursue your dreams, and remember, you are the LIONS from TEAGUE HIGH SCHOOL!”
