Her middle daughter, who graduated four
years ago, said that, if high school graduates
think the prior four years went fast, hold on to
their mortarboards, because the next four
years will go even faster.
Bassett’s advice focused on opportunities,
grabbing at every one that comes along, and
having no regrets.
“Build on what you learned – and you’ll
be surprised at what you can do,” she said.
High school Principal Lucas Trierweiler
recommended the seniors for their diplomas,
and school board President Jessica Brandli
officially accepted the class of 2021.
School board members and Superintendent
Kyle Corlett awarded a diploma to each
graduate.
As the exercises drew to a close, most of
the graduates threw their caps into the air,
then recovered them before they filed out of
the stadium to see parents, family and friends
and celebrate their accomplishments.
