He spoke during the ceremonies. The son of Venu and Laurie Varma, this senior had a grade-point average of 4.37 among six graduates.

“I would like to thank Mr. Rosario for coaching the soccer team, Ms. Scruggs for being the mother at school and Mr. Lenox for how he taught Bible class,” he said.
His favorite quote is “To infinity and beyond!” by Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story,” and his favorite Bible verse is, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made,” Psalms 139:14.
