‘once in a lifetime’

White House: Every wondered what would happen if the President of the United States walked into an auditorium full of unsuspecting high school seniors? That’s exactly what happened on June 7, 2010 when President Obama surprised the graduating class at Kalamazoo Central High School, the winners of the 2010 Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. The Principal of Kalamazoo Central High School, Von Washington, described the experience of competing in – and winning – the 2010 Commencement Challenge this way:

“How do you begin to describe what shaking the hand of the President of the United States at your high school graduation means to a student? Every one of our students, and everyone within our community was changed by this once in a lifetime event…..”

We’re asking public high schools from across the country to demonstrate how their school best prepares them for college and a career, helping America win the future by out-educating our competitors and achieving President Obama’s goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020.

a surprise guest

President Barack Obama greets students from Kalamazoo Central High School’s graduating class, during a surprise appearance in a gym at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich., June 7, 2010.

(The above video was posted by a Teabagger on YouTube under the title ‘Mom-and-Dad Supported Leftists Going Crazy for Obama’. So, not a single senior in Kalamazoo Central High School is a ‘rightist’? Excellent! :-)
