We will learn what each senior’s plans are after high school, any scholarships they received, any clubs/sports they were involved in, and a memory from high school. Departmental awards, Illinois State Scholars, and extra-curricular cords and pins will also be given at this time. Wurtsbaugh Photography will be taking pictures.
