We Salute The Seniors
It proved to be a perfect Sunday afternoon as the 2008 Lawson High School graduating class attended their last function as students.
The 100 graduates marked their successful completion of four years of high school during the afternoon program with Class Valedictorian Caitlin Hewitt, Class Salutatorian Samantha Goode, and Class Vice-President Mallorie Cureton giving the farewell addresses.
Senior Class President Elizabeth Hill was unable to attend the graduation ceremony due to an illness so Cureton was called upon to deliver Hill's speech.
Superintendent Craig Barker welcomed the guests to the event and made introductory remarks.
The LHS Chorus performed “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and the seniors in the LHS band gave their final performance with “The Great Locomotive Chase”.
Principal Don Edwards presented the many awards and scholarships.
Lawson R-XIV Board of Education members Bill Morrow, Anthony Peoples, and John Wier present the diplomas to the graduates.
