TRENTON – More than 500 Franklin High School seniors were challenged to “keep learning” and "change the world around you” at the 2014 graduation ceremony held June 17 at Sun Bank National Center here. In addition to addresses from class officers, Salutatorian Jay Prekh, Valedictorian Pratik Chheda and school and district administrators, the 2 1/2-hour ceremony featured songs by the high school concert choir. Prekh, who ended his speech by taking a “selfie” with Chheda, told his fellow graduates that their class is one “with the potential to change the world." “The first chapter in the book of our lives has already been written,” he said. “The best part is that what’s ahead in it hasn’t been written yet." “Take what you’ve learned in the past and move ahead,” Prekh said. Chheda told his classmates not to “forget where you came from." He said they were Warriors in high school, and now should “thnk of yourselves as gladiators in suits and start conquering. This is just the beginning of that journey." “Ultimately it will be about your self-esteem and your peace of mind,” he said. Board of Education president Julia Presley told the graduates that “winners accept nothing but the best from themselves, and you are all winners." “In your continued pursuit of excellence, make the world around you a better place,” she said. Interim schools Superintendent Leroy Seitz said the graduates “need to remember to keep learning, keep working and, most importantly, come back and give back to your community." “We need for you to be participants, and make Franklin Township even better than it is,” he said.
