President Remarks
Michelle Caudill reflected on the retiree celebration from earlier in the evening and looked ahead at the end of the year activities. "It's been exciting to have a good year. We've had a good year with our staff and a good year without students. We've done a lot of celebrating and recognitions of clubs, teams, teachers and students. It's been a great overall year and I hope it continues through the summer and we come back strong next fall."
