2014 Graduation Ceremonies at Ramona Convent Secondary School
On Saturday, May 24th, the Class of 2014 gathered for a final procession as Ramona students with their bouquet of yellow roses through the eloquent Rose Heath garden facing an audience of proud parents, families, friends, faculty, and staff. Salutatorian Ellen Urtecho spoke of the interdependent journey that she experienced at Ramona and encouraged her classmates to “go into the world armed and prepared to battle not only with their brains, work ethic, and personality but also with the most awesome weapon they possess, Love.”
The address was given by Interim Principal Dr. Harry Purpur who, in his brief time at Ramona, has had a meaningful and lasting impact on the senior class as “grandpa Purpur.”
