Number of students walking in ceremony: 400 Valedictorian: Robert Pace Salutatorian: Celeste Sununtnasuk Speakers: The Rev. Dr. Manuel Sykes Best Quote: "I'm more than excited for the future, but a part of me wants to do this all over again." - Pace Class Accomplishments: Forty-six students graduated with distinction, meaning they had a GPA of 3.25 to 3.5. Fifty-six students had a GPA of 3.5 to 3.8, graduating cum laude; Twenty-seven had a 3.8 to 4.0, graduating magna cum laude; and 40 had better than a 4.0, graduating summa cum laude. A Kodak moment: After seeing a Florida state flag on the stage fall more than a dozen times because of high winds, a man stood holding it to keep it from falling on the valedictorian Class song: I'll Be Seeing You by Irving Kahal and Sammy Fair - MARLON A. WALKER, Times staff writer
