Central High Passing of the Torch, New Tradition

At Central High Graduation ceremonies in Hammond, the Class of 2019 began a new traditional — the symbolic Passing of the Torch from one class to the next.

On behalf of the Class of 2019, president Harlan Jerro and vice president Camille Provost passed the Torch to Class of 2020 president Andrew Medine and vice president Miguel Castro III.

Harlan Jerro said, “This year’s senior Student Council leaders have done their best to pave the way for future graduating classes. The Class of 2019 is starting a new tradition at Central High School — the Passing of the Torch. The Torch symbolizes Leadership, Knowledge, and most importantly Hope for the student body. This eternal flame is held high and acts as a guide for the student body. But if the flame is mishandled or falls, Hope is diminished. This is why we must carefully pass the flame of Hope to the leaders of the next student body. Now as we pass the Torch, let us give our support to the new

leaders of Central High School.”
