SPANISH FORT, Ala. —Some 204 Spanish Fort High School seniors received their diplomas Thursday night, cheered on by the family, friends and  school staff who have watched them mature over the past four years.

The Class of 2011 holds the distinction of being the last remaining group of students from SFHS’s original student body, and their pride in that fact shone on every face wearing a cap and gown.

In their own words, the following are speeches delivered by SFHS Class of 2011 Valedictorian Sara Beth Deas and Salutatorian Lauren Watts.
