Class of '23 earns $1.3 million in scholarships Contributed
Tallassee High School held their annual Senior Awards program on May 15 at First Baptist Church of Tallassee. Principal, Mr. Drew Glass, welcomed the well-attended congregation and the Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer was led by graduating Student Body President, Harper Davis.
Mrs. Brooke Barron, Assistant Principal, announced the names of the seniors that were recognized for their academic accomplishments, their dedication and services provided to the various clubs and organizations as Mr. Glass presented advanced and honor students with a solid gold tassel and/or gold stole. Faculty members that served as club sponsors also presented cords, medals, and certificates.
The love, appreciation and respect for a former classmate was acknowledged by presenting to the Walters Family an Honorary Associates Degree from Southern Union State Community College.
Representatives from colleges/universities and community businesses and organizations presented scholarships to the recipients. Military enlistees received a heart-warming standing ovation for their future service of commitment to serve and protect our country.
In the past, the Tiger Tracks Yearbook for THS has been dedicated to one individual. But this year, the Yearbook was dedicated to The Class of 2023 because of their perseverance and determination to maintain their focus on academics while experiencing a viral epidemic and being taught in modular learning spaces(trailers) for two years during the construction of the new high school. Their hard work and determination was revealed by the overall monetary amount of 1.3 million dollars awarded in scholarships to the Class of 2023!
The administration, faculty and staff wish only the best for this graduating class as they venture into a world of opportunities!
