OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Graduating high schoolers say they don't want to move away from Moore after a tornado devastated a section of their town.

Westmoore High School Senior Alex Davis says staying close is a way to show "that a disaster can't beat us."

And senior Cameron Knight says if he had a choice to live anywhere in the country, he'd still pick his hometown.

Westmoore was the first of three schools to hold commencement ceremonies Saturday at the Cox Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City suburb was hit by a strong tornado Monday; 24 people died and hundreds were injured.

The Moore School District canceled its school year after the tornado hit the Plaza Towers and Briarwood elementary schools, but wants graduation ceremonies to go on.
