The Adair County High School Class of 2017 officially moved on to the next phase of their lives Friday night at the school's commencement ceremony. In front of a standing-room-only crowd of parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends, the graduates were recognized for 13 years of hard work and academic achievement.




Principal Troy Young was the first speaker of the night, and congratulated the class on its many academic, athletic, and extracurricular achievements over the years. Young also provided a few words of advice to the graduates. "We do live in the moment, but try to look ahead into the future," Young said. "Make sure you always, always have more good days than bad days."

Isaac Carter, the next speaker, offered thanks on behalf of the Class of 2017 to the many parents, teachers, administrators, and school staff who worked their hardest to help the graduates achieve their goals. Carter also shared a few thoughts of his own about his graduating class. "We might be the most athletic class to come through here," Carter said. "We might not be the smartest class to come through here, but we are for sure the best looking class to come through Adair County High School.

After Carter's speech, Young returned to the microphone to present the graduates as they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas from Supt. Pam Stephens.

Other participants in the ceremony included the ACHS band, ACHS choir, and ACHS Jr. Guard Honor Guard, who provided music and presented colors, respectively. Graduates Wes Stone, Chloe Hixson, and Linsey Grant also spoke briefly. While no valedictorian or salutatorian was named this year, the top two seniors in terms of GPA, Chassidy Bryant and Cole Schmidt, were recognized.
