Our school community recently faced a disappointing decision when the school board decided to cut the school resource officer program, a move that has already begun to impact our sense of security and connection within the school environment. This decision also means attempting to prevent Officer Ware, who has been an invaluable part of our community, from being a part of our graduation ceremony as a guest speaker.

Officer Ware has become more than just a resource officer; he has been a mentor, a guide, and a trusted figure to students, parents, and teachers alike. Through his dedication and commitment, he has influenced and changed countless lives, offering support and kindness when it was needed the most. His presence at our school has been a source of comfort and inspiration, and his removal is a significant loss.

The recent student walkout was a clear demonstration of the overwhelming support for Officer Ware, highlighting how much he is appreciated and valued by the school body. This strong display of solidarity cannot be ignored. Keeping him from speaking at our graduation does not just impact Officer Ware; it silences the voice of an entire community that stands behind him.

Let's come together to ensure that Officer Ware has the opportunity to impart his wisdom and experience upon us as we celebrate this significant milestone. Graduation is a momentous occasion, a time when encouragement and motivation are needed most, and nobody is more fitting for this role than Officer Ware.

Join us in signing this petition to show the school board and administration just how crucial Officer Ware's presence is to our school community and our graduation ceremony. Let's make sure Officer Ware is there to speak at our graduation and remind us of the positive impact one person can have within a community. Sign to make this happen.
