With a class motto of “Your life

does not get better by chance. It gets

better by change. Don’t be afraid

to move on to the next chapter,”

Pennfield High School graduated

its Class of 2024 on the evening of

Tuesday, May 28 in the PHS gym-

nasium.

Pennfield’s Class of 2024 included

173 seniors.

Class officers for PHS’s Class of

2024 were president Katelyn Lamb,

vice president Abigail Patterson,

secretary Landon Metty and treasurer

Thomas Kurtz.

Pennfield’s valedictorian was

Emma Brown, and its salutatorian

was Alexis Downs.

Both Brown and Downs were

among the ceremony’s speakers

before diplomas were handed out and

graduates made their way into the

Pennfield High parking lot for photos

and congratulatory hugs.

The event’s processional was

done by PHS’s high school band,

led by director Blake Driver; the

“Star Spangled Banner” was per-

formed by the PHS band and choir

(with the choir being directed by

Class of 2024 graduates at Pennfield High

Steve Bowen); and the song “Go the

Distance” by Hercules was performed

by the choir.

Offering the “welcome” address

was PHS principal Andrew Loy; the

introduction of speakers was done by

the aforementioned Metty; Pennfield

schools superintendent Stephanie

Lemmer was the first to speak to the

graduates and the standing-room-only

audience in attendance; and PHS sec-

retary Monica Crandall delivered the

commencement address.

Next up: The introduction of the

top 10 academic seniors for the

Class of 2024; the introduction of

Summa Cum Laude GPA leaders

Kelsey Peterson and Thomas Kurtz;

words of wisdom from school board

student representative Kay’Dence

ing speeches by salutatorian Downs

and valedictorian Brown.

Principal Loy along with Dawn

Forton (president of the Pennfield

Board of Education) and Lemmer

then distributed diplomas, and the

presentation of the graduates was
