On hand for the ceremonies were: Reverend James C. Wright's widow Jackie, MMSD Superintendent Cheryl Wilhoyte, former School Board member Jerry Smith, Equal Opportunities Commission Representative Anthony Brown, Dane County Board Supervisor Regina Rhyne, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, as well as dozens of students, parents and community leaders.
