A Message from the High School Principal, Mr. Carl Brenneman:
“This graduating class has been an absolute pleasure to work with, from the start of the year to the last day, we have worked well together. I want to especially acknowledge the co-presidents. Their style of leadership, their active involvement in planning, and their respectful collaboration with me helped make this year smooth. Their class set positive precedents that will pave the way for future classes to enjoy.”
