A-C Valley students sent off Sunday
FOXBURG — Donning blue-and-white caps and gowns, 43 seniors showed a spectrum of emotion as they sat in the gymnasium of Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School for one final time as students Sunday.
Before the ceremony, the graduates rallied with friends in the band room. Photos were taken. Caps were fixed. Smiles shown all around.
Jessica Jordan, wife of secondary Principal William Jordan, helped graduate Mackenna Sherry pin her hat to her hair keeping it in place.
"It’s super exciting,“ Sherry said. ”My friend Cailyn (Shaffer, a fellow graduate) spent the night, and we got ready together.“
Sherry, the daughter of Amanda and Dana Sherry, of Nicholville, plans to attend Edinboro University to study criminal justice.
“I want to help people,” she said.
