Mead Addresses Graduates
138 Jackson Hole High School seniors were presented their diplomas Saturday during the 2011 graduation ceremony. Governor Matt Mead was the guest speaker at the graduation. A graduate of Jackson Hole High School and former class president himself, Mead told the students he took his inspiration from a young boy who had been sent home from the Jackson school with a note that said he was uneducable because of a speech problem. The young boy persevered none-the-less and came to lead a very successful life. The boy was Mead’s grandfather, Senator Cliff Hansen. Mead urged the students to never be discouraged by life’s obstacles, and to remain true to themselves.
