Impressive, humbling experience with school's "oral boards" inspires kudos

Letter to the Editor

I am writing to personally acknowledge and thank Cathy Krohn and everyone involved in the LRHS Senior Oral Boards process. I had the honor of being on a board and reviewing the files and presentations of five seniors for the first time this week. Being relatively new to the community and not have school-aged kids, my involvement with anything to do with LRHS prior to this was non-existent. Participating in this very worthwhile event resulted in me getting to know first hand some of the great things this school does for its students and the community as a whole.

With that said, I was a student in a large, public high school in a large metropolis. While my school was well known for its academics, we didn’t have anything like the Senior Oral Boards, or even the extensive preparation for entering the “real world” when I was in high school — I wish we did. I’d like to offer a huge KUDOS to Cathy, LRHS parents and families, and especially the 2015 Senior Class students for a job well-done. The five young adults with whom I had the pleasure to meet left a lasting, positive impression on me. It is with a humbled heart that I am proud to have been given the opportunity to take part in this process, and I look forward to the great things these kids will accomplish in the future.
