As the year ends, the moment seniors have been preparing for is practically here on the night of June 2. Leading up to graduation, have been many sleepless nights and never-ending days. Senior year is the most chaotic year of any student. With applying for scholarships, deciding on a college, spending time with friends and family, and finishing all the graduation announcements. However, walking across the stage will be an unforgettable moment.
Senior class advisors Mrs. Lisa Scott and Mrs. Kristin Flanders have been working all year to organize events for seniors such as senior sunrise, the senior barbeque, and graduation.
When asked about how she felt about the senior Class, scott said” I am going to miss them. Also, they were a great class to work with; they participated well and cooperated well.”
Next year, Scott will not be the senior class advisor, “I will not be the class advisor but I will still be super involved in FBLA and Yearbook, so I will still be able to interact with the seniors.”
On June 2, at 7 p.m. graduation will be held at the Winnemucca Events Center. Graduating will be 182 seniors who have worked their high school careers to achieve this point. Earning a high school diploma is the first step in becoming an adult. Four students will be giving speeches including, Arline Franco, Suleima Franco, and Rachel Yates.
When Rachel Yates pondered what graduating would feel like she said, “It feels sad but exciting at the same time, it is nostalgic. I’m nervous to give the speech but I feel as though it will be worth it.”
Every student will choose the next step in their lives whether it be college-bound or staying in Winnemucca to work. Seniors have an impact on the school and they will be missed. All of their accomplishments will live on in the halls of Lowry High School.
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan but believe.” – Anatole France.
