Superintendent of Schools Dr Lorrie Rodrigue welcomed everyone in attendance at the June 6 event.

"We all know why we are here: to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and soon-to-be graduates," said Dr Rodrigue, adding that both the students' academic achievements and accomplishments in the community would be celebrated at the event through the presentation of awards and scholarships.

Dr Rodrigue said she knows the awards and scholarships are well-deserved, and they are the start of "so many other accolades" the students will receive in their lives.

NHS Interim Principal David Roach also spoke before the awards and scholarships were presented for seniors on June 6. He thanked the parents for showing support for their children, he thanked the students for their hard work, and he thanked NHS College/Career Center Coordinator Kitty Latowicki for organizing the evening.

NHS Director of School Counseling Bret Nichols introduced each scholarship and award presenter or presenting group throughout the evening event.
