Andrea: (Valedictorian Speech) Thank you. Oh, Mr. Meyers, Miss Teasley, uh, fellow graduates, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, today we stand here united as a class. Tomorrow we go our separate ways as individuals…on our own and individually. We do this to follow paths, unfathomable path, which weave before us…We do so with the certainty… with the certainty…that we don't have the faintest idea what we're doing at all…Which could be a very frightening prospect in a world where the… in a world where the boundaries of nations and the balance of nature can change overnight. Except that the years that we have spent at West Beverly have given us the foundation to face the future. But, we haven't just learned facts and figures, logic and reasoning skills, but we have learned the value of friendship— friendship, loyalty, and love— which will not be diminished just because we may not end up together. The memories that we have shared will not go away simply because we do. So even if the future does not always meet our expectations, or the fates are cruel to us at times, no one can ever take this moment from me… From me, from you, from any of us. No one can ever take away this moment in time. (edit)

Steve mentions that his father is at the graduation ceremony with his stepmother and the "three flying monkey-children". Later in the series, though, he only has two half-brothers: Austin and Ryan and there's no mention of Steve's stepmother. (edit) When Miss Teasley hugs Steve, she is missing the fake fingernail on the pinky finger of her left hand. (edit) In a previous episode, Andrea mentions needing to beat out Joey Wong for valedictorian. However, during the graduation ceremony, she is seated right next to Brenda. Alphabetically, Joey Wong should have been sitting between Brenda and Andrea, unless he went from being a candidate for valedictorian to not even graduating. (edit)
