Hayes Freedom High School student Zach Hausinger hugs Principal Amy Holmes after receiving his diploma Saturday. During her speech to the crowd, Holmes described herself as passionate about the students' education. "I was fierce, you might have misjudged that as mean, about helping you make the choices that would not only get you here today, but I was fierce because you deserved to get here with incredible learning experiences, amazing memories and most importantly hope," she said. "You are smart, talented, strong-willed and powerful beyond measure."

Brasch, the 2014 Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Year, spoke to the students about making the right choices. "Own your mistakes, accept responsibility, don't blame others and have a plan," he said. "You can't see into the future, but you can make plans that help you to be in the right places, at the right time, with the right people."
