For the Class of 2023 at Point Loma High School, it was a day of farewells not only for the nearly 400 young ladies and men who smiled and celebrated as they walked across the stage in the Greek Theatre on the campus of Point Loma Nazarene University. It was also a time for principal Kelly Lowry to bid farewell to the PLHS community, serving first as a vice principal and in recent years as principal. A large majority of parents requested graduation be moved to PLNU. Late-breaking clouds made the sea of maroon gowns glisten as parents, family, and friends eagerly awaited the calling of their graduate’s name, ending a 13-year process that began before baby teeth were lost and ending with plans for universities, trade schools, and the military. The valedictorian was Asher Christian, and the salutatorian was Cameron Lucas.
