We, like most, have gone through our highs and lows. We are the class that had to learn how to
adjust to a “new normal”. Though it may not have been our ideal senior year to have been at home due
to COVID-19, we made it through. We have had to learn to live and work around a global pandemic.
However, we did make the best out of what we had, and more importantly were able to make memories
we will never forget.

We are here now, graduating due to our hard work and dedication. Never in our lives did we expect
to spend a quarter of our junior year and our entire senior year away from school and apart from our
classmates. We know what it’s like to miss some of the most memorable moments of our lives. But no
matter how dark and scary the world can get; we always saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Through all the hardships high school has brought us, we would have never been able to do it alone;
it truly does take a village. Thanks to our families, friends, teachers, coaches, mentors and so many
more, we are able to be here today. These people have shaped our lives in more ways than we realize at
the moment, but will realize down the road how much we appreciate them. They are the reason that
we stand tall with smiles on our faces.

Our high school experience was like no class before us but our memories will be something we
are able to cherish forever. Managing to have a few senior events, cheering at the top of our lungs at
rivalry sports games, experiencing homecoming, falling down at senior skate night, having class in
the middle of a winter snow storm, dancing all night at prom, the list is endless and our memories
are forever.

On behalf of the class of 2021, we would like to not only thank everyone that was a part of
our journey but express our greatest gratitude for watching us grow to be who we are today. To our
parents: thank you for showering us endlessly with your unconditional love and support along the
way. To our teachers, counselors, and staff: thank you for teaching us patience, the value of education,
and always challenging us to be better than we were yesterday. To the cafeteria helpers: thank you for
always providing each and every student a meal. To the custodians, thank you for maintaining our
second home. To the administrators: thank you for showing us how to be held accountable, no matter
how irritated we became. And lastly, to the infamous Larry Jones, thank you for being a spectacular
example of leadership as our principal for our final year of high school.
With love, appreciation, and gratitude,
The Senior Class of 2021

Alma Mater

Cheer for the school we love,
Reach for the stars above.

Fight Song

Hey, look Us over, lend Us an ear,
Everybody shout ‘cause SGP is here.

So everybody stand and shout,
So everyone will know

The Best in the Land,

We’ll Win the Honors if anyone can.
For we’ll Fight for Right And Victory

For nothing else will do
SGP, WE LOVE YOU!
