Graduates are often asked all the questions when they graduate from high school. Has anyone ever asked what the parents of those former students think of their kids graduating?

Luckily, there are teachers in the Delphi School Corporation with kids that graduated last year. I thought it was prime time to ask the big questions.

I was lucky enough to get an interview with Mrs. Gasser, the 6th grade middle school math teacher. Mrs. Gasser’s son, Cayden Gasser, graduated last spring. Mrs. Gasser was gracious enough to share her thoughts on what it is like having a child graduate and move beyond high school.
