The senior class of Randolph-Henry High School (R-H) will graduate with more than $78,000 in scholarships. Senior Awards Day was held on Sunday, May 5, right before the senior slideshow was unveiled in the library.

Mason Hamlett was honored with a plaque, as he was named Senior of the Year. Also, prior to the ceremony, students led a moving Baccalaureate Service, adding a meaningful touch to the proceedings. 

“The success of “Senior Sunday” would not have been possible without the dedication of our school staff, who worked tirelessly to organize the event,” said Randolph-Henry Principal Erin Davis. She also thanked “the generous support of our community partners, whose scholarships make a significant impact on our students’ futures.”
