Congratulations to the great Class of 2020!
As we celebrate this exciting day, please remember to thank those who helped you along the way. You are leaving a legacy at Kirkwood High School and are preparing for the journey that lies ahead. It is our hope that you will become leaders in your communities and will take what you have learned from the Kirkwood School District and use it to make our world a better place for future generations. We are so proud of each one of you and wish you the best. You may be leaving us today, but you will always be a Pioneer.
It is a great day to be a Pioneer!

A Message to the Class of 2020 from Dr. Mike Havener, Kirkwood High School Principal

KIRKWOOD HIGH SCHOOL Class of 2020 Commencement Exercises
Welcome!
It is with sincere excitement and happiness that I welcome everyone to the
graduation ceremony for the Kirkwood Class of 2020. What the world has
experienced in the past four and half months is truly historic, and almost
unimaginable. At this moment, I am unsure of the words that can really express or
capture our reality. However, we have made it and the day for your commencement
ceremony has finally arrived. Thank you to everyone who has supported the students
in the Kirkwood High School Class of 2020. Know that the love, guidance, advice,
and lessons you have shared are appreciated.
To the class of 2020, the feelings of joy, appreciation, and pride are never more
present in my heart for having spent time with each and every one of you. Knowing
you have graduated should lead you to thoughts of accomplishment, pride, and
success. Graduation, while a time for celebration, is also a time to move forward and
use what you have learned to be a productive member of society.
From day one, we challenged you to paint your own portrait of a Pioneer and you
have accomplished that feat. Take the skills, knowledge, and passion you own to
discover your place in the world as you further your education, start a vocation or
career, or if you take a break to explore other options.
Class of 2020, congratulations on reaching this milestone, best wishes, peace, and
love!
