2021 GRADUATION AT TURNER HIGH SCHOOL

The Turner School held its Commencement Exercises this past Saturday at the High School gymnasium. It was such a wonderful celebration, especially after not being allowed to hold an official exercise last year due to the pandemic. Both eighth grade and Senior High graduated. Shyan Krass gave the welcome followed by the introduction of the guest speaker, Mrs. Darci Ammen, given by Austin Welsh. Mrs. Ammen gave a superb Commencement Address. They Seniors did a rose ceremony, which entailed presenting roses to specific guests of the audience. Mr. Tony Warren, Superintendent, introduced both the Co-Valedictorians, Brooke Reed and Brandy Calvert. Following that, the Seniors prepared and showed a slide show, which included photos from each student from over the years leading up to graduation. It was certainly a touching show.
