The majority of students in the Class of 2024 are headed off to two- or four-year institutions that are in Pennsylvania.
Anna Quirus, who is interested in microbiology, is staying in-state at Dickinson College in Carlisle. “I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to reinvent myself and try new things,” said Anna.
Savi Bell and Madison Richards will be majoring in Musical Theater. After a challenging audition process, Savi will be attending Ball State University in Indiana, while Madison will be attending Stephens College in Missouri.
Senior Olivia Smith hopes to be a professional photographer and is going to Kutztown University to study Studio Art. "I’m looking forward to being able to travel and take pictures around the world,” said Olivia.
Seniors planning to go into the military and the workforce were celebrated at the event as well.
Timothy Murphy will be starting his military career in the army at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and Jared Wagner is headed to West Point.
Senior Charlie Roman has run an online fishing lure business called “Charlie’s Bucktails” for the past five years and will be putting his efforts into that after high school. “Looking at the options, if I go to college or not, I’m going to make more money if I just continue working on my business, so that’s the biggest factor,” said Charlie. “And I love to do it.”
The seniors enjoyed taking pictures, learning where everyone is headed, and simply spending time with each other one of the last times during their high school career.
