She reminded the students of all they've been through this past year.
"Through a pandemic, through racial uprising in our city, you still made it to this point today and you should give yourselves a round of applause for that," Porter said.
Students recalled the life lessons they will bring with them to high school.
"We were here for a reason and we should not let anyone affect that but above that, we need to remember to love and respect ourselves," said valedictorian Brianna Gaynor.
