By GEORGE CUSTER/Editor — Your high school graduation becomes a blur pretty quickly. Whether it’s a morning, noon, or evening event. There’s almost always the rush. Either you get there too early and get antsy waiting around, or you get there just in time and worry if everything got taken care of that you were supposed to do beforehand. Either way, the day is always filled with an electric anticipation.
As the numbers go, of the sixty-five graduates, approximately $850,000 in scholarship funds were dispersed to various students.
The four valedictorians were Gavin Hoellrich, Cassidy Perkins, Jillian Placko, and Luke Templin.
