Raye Lynn McCabe, principal at Tuba City High School, congratulated the graduates on a successful four years at Tuba City High School.
“This has been one of the closest groups of students I have witnessed in my 21 years here at TCHS,” she said. “Some of these students started at the high school by taking a math enrichment program the summer before their freshman year. They remained a close and active group, participating in events such as homecoming activities, fundraising activities, senior class trip and finally graduation.”
“I have gotten to know each of these kids throughout their high school years and I can say that graduation week was bittersweet for me as I will miss this group of students,” she added. “I will definitely miss seeing them around the school.”
The senior class officers included: Allyssa Holiday, president; Meaghan Moran, vice president; Erin Butler, secretary; Tristin Sam, treasurer; representatives Chanell Barrett and Seth Dugi; Raini-Skye Rogers, historian; spirit leaders Jacob Coin and Tatum McCabe; and the senior class sponsor was Alvino Sam.
