Can you believe that we're here actually here on our beautiful paradise High School campus to celebrate and welcome the Paradise High School graduating class of 2019 got home to you.

The fact that we're here tonight to celebrate this milestone is a miracle.

Because you survived one of the most destructive wildfires in our nation's history.

It left us a different people.

You are the first generation of paradise high school graduates to rise from the ashes of what life?

Waas take a bold step forward into a new, an uncertain future.

But with what you've been through, you have what it takes to persevere.

Congratulations and good luck.
