Karns City’s Class of ’23 receives diplomas
FAIRVIEW TWP -- Friends and family gathered at Diehl Stadium on the Karns City Area Jr./Sr. High School campus Wednesday, May 24, to watch as the 93 members of the Class of 2023 received their diplomas.
Student speakers were Addisyn Christie, president of the senior class and student council, salutatorian Reese Booher and valedictorian Cecilia Morrow.
Their theme, “Life is Like a Box of Chocolates,” was echoed by Michael Stimac, high school principal, as he opened the ceremony with some shared memories he has of several of the students, saying they are all unique and different.
“Seniors,” Stimac said, “your leadership, your charisma, and your attitudes made this year special.”
Addisyn, who will be attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the fall, said graduating was bittersweet.
“Today, we gather on this field for the last time to celebrate our achievements,” she told her fellow graduates. “One of the most valuable lessons I learned was that it’s not about what you wear or how you look. It is about the legacy you will leave behind after you graduate.
