Knoch commencement plays out under sunny evening skies
JEFFERSON TWP — The last class to graduate from the South Butler County School District on Friday evening were also the last to celebrate commencement on the grass football field.
Next year's Knoch High School Class of 2023 will graduate from the newly named Knoch School District on the new synthetic turf that will be installed in the stadium this summer.
The 197 seniors who flipped their tassels from right to left on Friday night chatted animatedly in the high school hallways before proceeding into the stadium.
“I'm very excited,” said Dylan Jackson. “A little nervous, but optimistic. The future is looking good.”
Dylan, who will study golf management at Coastal Carolina University in the fall, named Knoch High English teacher Bethany Hanner as an instructor he will never forget.
