Vallejo High School’s Class of 2023 graduation ceremony featured seven student speeches — one by the ASB Class President, four by salutatorians and two more by valedictorians.

Although the speeches were passionate, the volume reached its highest pitch on one topic.

Perseverance.

The speakers focused on their fellow graduates’ freshman year, which took place under the COVID-19 pandemic and away from the Vallejo High campus, which turned 154 years old this year.
