…McDade wheeled himself to the stage and then, amazingly, managed to stand up.
Then, with the help of a walker, McDade then made it across the stage to accept his diploma, the Okmulgee News Network reported.
Screams and claps can be heard in a video of the special moment, which has been viewed almost 200,000 times.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been doing this a long time,” the announcer said as McDade was helped back into his wheelchair.
“That is the best ever!”
His parents, Mark and Anisa McDade, said they couldn’t be prouder of their son.
We are proud of you too, Michah. Congratulations!
