Lizzie graduates from Dennis-Yarmouth HS

Lizzie graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth High School in ceremonies Saturday on the school's football field, then celebrated with her proud parents, Owen and Tish, brother Gerrit and sister-in-law Angela.

The sky was overcast but the threat of rain passed and the school was able to conduct the ceremony outside as planned.

The school's principal praised the 196 graduates for “pursuing excellence and demonstrating character.” He also thanked them and their families for the "dry thoughts" that pushed the rain away, according to The Yarmouth Register.

The paper's website, Wickedlocal.com, has a 2-minute video of the ceremony that includes Lizzie getting her diploma. (It's just after the 1:30 mark.)



Lizzie now moves from the D-Y High Class of 2013 to the Elon University Class of 2017. She'll start her studies in the fall at the university in Elon, N.C., where she plans to major in education with a minor in dance.
