On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, West Catholic High School celebrated the Class of 2023 with a commencement ceremony at West. After leading Mass earlier in the day at Holy Spirit, Grand Rapids Catholic Diocese Bishop David Walkowiak was on hand to confer diplomas.

In her speech to the Class and those in attendance, President/CEO Jill Annable talked to students about their uniqueness and individuality, quoting the school's patron, St. John Paul II, saying each one of us is "unrepeatable."

Here is her entire speech.
