When the speeches had been delivered – the most notable by Valedictorian Rachel Camarena and Salutatorian Kailee Renner, the graduating seniors lined up to receive their diplomas from school trustees Dr. Lupe Solis and John Droogh.

Camarena delivered the address “What Do You Want to be When You Grow up?” while Renner’s topic was “Time Served.”

The school honored other seniors with special awards, including Aaron Dorfmeier with a “Leadership” award and Jordyn Lee, the recipient of the school’s “School Service” award. Ramon “Alex” Zendejas was honored with a “School Citizenship” award while “School Spirit” went to Autree Turner.

The top “Academic Athlete” awards went to Katelyn Cole and Kent Lambert.
