Decatur High School graduate Peter J. McDonald delivered the Student Commencement Speech at the Spring Commencement Ceremony at UGA – to a crowd of 50,000 graduating seniors. Peter graduated summa cum laude from the UGA Honors Program and as you can hear (& see) on the video, he presented an eloquent, inspiring talk using his work as a City of Decatur summer camp counselor as a shining example of the difference that can be made for at-risk youth.
It makes me proud to be a Decatur High graduate (albeit many years before Peter) and especially proud of the heart and soul of the people that make up our community. Great job Peter and thanks for the shout-out!
The video is well worth listening to the entire eight minutes – I promise.
