Once the Class Valedictorian Said These 3 Words, the Entire Graduating Class Stood Up

Portsmouth High School Graduation 'Shake It Off' Flash Mob.

June is the month many high school seniors graduate high school and get ready for college in the fall. When class valedictorian Colin Yost of Portsmouth High School was ending his speech, he gave a word of advice if life ever got stressful…just ‘shake it off’.

Once he uttered those three words, Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ started playing and all the graduating students participated in a flash mob. Yost planned it with several of his friends and all the students were more than happy to participate and make it a graduation party they won’t soon forget!
