Gates congratulates a graduate


Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates congratulates a graduate of Blue Valley Northwest High School during her graduation ceremony at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., May 23, 2010. Gates was selected to deliver the commencement address during the graduation as part of the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge, which invited public high schools around the country to show how they are challenging their students to excel in academics, take personal responsibility for their education and graduate high school ready for college and career. The top five runners up were selected to have a Cabinet secretary or senior administration official deliver the commencement address. (DoD photo by Master Sgt.
