One of the longest traditions in high schools is class rings, and that’s no different at Staley. Sophomores got their class rings May 7, but they made another commitment, a commitment to graduate. They signed a banner with that commitment in mind.
The rings carry stories for students, whether it be as simple as their birthstone, or as interesting an out-of-school activity, these rings carry emotion and personal stories.
Garrett Gately is one of these sophomores; his ring is silver and garnet with a black inlay. The meaning is simple.
“It just means a lot; my years of high school,” Gately said. “Just how far I’ve come and what I’ve become.”
Rings are personal to each person, and this reflects in what students chose to engrave on them, from academic achievements such as National Honor Society, high-school sports to careers like EMT, fire, police or even military. Students’ rings reflect on the activities they’re in.
Elijah McEntire also a sophomore who got a class ring.
“You can remember what you did in high school because you can choose what you put on it, and it’s a cool memento,” McEntire said
Sophomore Sophie Smith engraved her ring with her involvement in color guard and horseback riding, and her ring is silver with her birthstone peridot.
“I got my class year engraved on it,” Smith said. “I got a color engraving with the word Diamonds above it, to represent that I’m on Diamonds. Then I got a horseback riding engraving as well.”
Overall, from showing off their activities or wanting a high-school memory that will last a lifetime, getting a class ring is an option that can showcase them and their ambitions.
