Fourteen seniors collected their diplomas in the Charlo gym Sunday – perhaps the smallest graduating class in Lake County. Small but mighty, according to commencement speaker and social studies teacher Mike Mercer, who described them as “the most fun, interesting, thought-provoking group of young adults I've ever been around.”
The Class of 2025 was welcomed by class president Berrit DuMont, who advised his classmates, “Boring is the worst possible thing you can do in this world.”
Salutatorian Adam Sheumaker was next at the podium, and paid tribute to the value of growing up in a close-knit community and attending a rural school.
