Royal Oak High School Celebrates its 100th Anniversary

School officials, students, parents and alumni gathered at Royal Oak High School Thursday for a centennial celebration.

"It's exciting to recognize 100 years of Royal Oak High School," said Superintendent Shawn Lewis-Lakin. "There's a lot this community has done to support education over the years."

During the 3-hour event, a Hall of Fame showcasing graduates and staff and an Athletic Hall of Honor were unveiled. A student-produced lip dub video premiered, too. 

Mike Van Camp, Royal Oak High School's new principal, was introduced to the community during a presentation in the auditorium.

"I'm proud to be up here. I can't wait to get started. I'm proud to become a part of your community," said Van Camp. "And, I look forward to being a part of the next 100 years."
