How fitting that, after receiving their diplomas, Golden High School graduates also received a sunflower as they walked back to their seats. Like sunflowers, the Class of 2024 flourished under the Colorado sun. The graduates adapted to an everchanging environment, and maintained a sense of optimism through it all. They uplifted each other and those around them, and even as they leave Golden High School, they do so filled with a warmth and joy only those sunflowers can really capture. GHS celebrated nearly 330 Class of 2024 graduates during its May 17 graduation ceremony at Marv Kay Stadium. The event also marked the school’s 150th commencement, which several graduates took special pride in. “It’s a great year to be graduating,” SEE GRADUATION, P4
