IT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING
As your journey through high school has ended, you embark on your new lives. Whether it be college or the work force or the military - we wish all the graduates of the Class of 2009 good luck in all their future endeavors.
Thank you once again to the Senior Parent Committee for the time and effort expended to make sure that you, the Class of 2009, left Mark Keppel High School with wonderful memories. Many thanks to Mrs. Jill Gussman for taking on this enormous task of coordinating the parents group.
We hope that you all enjoyed the main event which took over a year of planning. With everyone's help and cooperation we were able to pull it off.
CONGRATULATIONS, GO TAKE ON THE WORLD!

MESSAGE FROM JILL GUSSMAN, GRAD NIGHT CHAIR
2009 Senior Parents
Graduation and Grad Nite are just around the corner!! We are all eagerly looking forward to this memorable and hopeful time for all our Keppel Graduates!!
Our committee is aware of changes in the set up or program that are meant to enhance the dignity and pageantry of the Commencement. We feel the arrangement of the students relative to the podium and the invited guests, will still reflect the close community feel that is a big part of Mark Keppel High School.
We hope all our graduates and guests will be respectful of the commencement throughout.
The graduates have the choice to sit with their friends. This is being painstakingly arranged by a very hardworking and dedicated Senior Council. Kudos to them!
However, most of our parents and Administration would prefer alphabetical order.
Thank you for raising great kids! It has been a pleasure for those of us who have the opportunity to work with and be around them on campus, etc. Thank you for your support!
We hope all can feel great pride for our 2009 Graduates and Mark Keppel High School!
