Madison Smith, accompanied by pianist Dr. Samantha Corrion, provided the special music presentation for the event.
“(Thursday’s) ceremony is a way to showcase our students who excel in academics as well as a desire to render service. We are very proud to recognize these outstanding members of our student body.
