Manta Ray Battalion serves as color guard at Hopwood graduation

Saipan Southern High School’s Manta Ray Battalion JROTC Color Guard and Exhibition Team visit Hopwood Junior High School graduation ceremony on Tuesday to perform the posting of the flags and at the same time entertain graduates with the SSHS Rifle Exhibition Team.

The program started at 9:30am, with the opening of the graduates walking to the stage and the SSHS color guard posting of the flags.

The principal’s speech really made a powerful impact to the students and the Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” resonated well.

Overall the ceremony went well and the parents were proud to see their children graduating today.

After the ceremony the SSHS Exhibition Team “wowed” the audience with their great exhibition skills.
