The top of their class SHS names valedictorian, salutatorian By Ashley Inge
ainge@empiretribune.com
Stephenville High School has announced its top graduates — and Lauren Beaty is this year’s valedictorian and Kaylee Dahl is the salutatorian. Beaty has lived in Stephenville since she was four, and becoming valedictorian was her goal growing up. “When I was in the fourth grade, my cousin was valedictorian of his senior class and I remember asking my parents, ‘Why does he get to stand up there and give a speech?’ They told me it was because he had the highest GPA and so that’s when I set the goal and was like, ‘Oh I want to do that too’ so it’s kind of cool to see the hard work of the past eight years being fulfilled,” she said. Beaty was involved in POWERSET (Powerful Opportunities for Women Eager and Ready for Science, Engineering and Technology), choir and debate. She was also the National Honor Society president and was on the science UIL team, where she and her team made it to regionals for the three years that she was involved.
She’s proud of her achievement in varsity choir because they earned sweepstakes every year. She is also proud of receiving the pre-AP Spanish II student during her sophomore year and receiving the outstanding dual-credit U.S. history student during her junior year. She said her favorite memories of high school are getting to spend time with people in her community as well as the relationships she’s built with her peers. Following graduation, Beaty is going to Baylor University where she will major in science on a pre-med track. She also plans to go to medical school. Dahl was born in California, then lived in Oregon until first grade when she made the move to Stephenville. She was involved in basketball, band and DECA. She was also the NHS parliamentarian and president of POWERSET. “[The extracurriculars] let me form a lot of great relationships. I made a lot of good friends,” Dahl said. Dahl is proud of her accomplishments in band and went to the Texas State SoloEnsemble Contest every year. She was also

Dahl said she is proud to be named salutatorian, even though it required a lot of hard work. “It obviously hasn’t been fun studying the entire way and things like that, but I
think that it’s just really nice to see everything pay off and to get some recognition for all of the hard work that we put in,” she said. Following graduation, Dahl is headed to ACU where she will study biochemistry on a pre-med track. She is also planning to go to medical school.

Huston Academy’s valedictorian ‘surprised’ by honor By Ashley Inge
ainge@empiretribune.com
Charity Whitworth is Huston Academy’s 2019 valedictorian. Born and raised in Stephenville, Whitworth previously attended Stephenville High School before going to Huston Academy. She was on the SHS Stingerette Drill Team, and at Huston Academy, she was on the yearbook staff, Prom Committee and prom court. One of Whitworth’s best memories from high school was when she was a freshman
and a member of the stings. One of her best memories from Huston is when she attended prom this year. “I went with my boyfriend and it was the first time he went and they had karaoke and he sang,” she said. She said one of her biggest achievements was finishing six online classes from February to last Tuesday, May 14. Whitworth said being named valedictorian feels “really good, but at the same time, kind of surprising.” After graduation, she plans to move to Colorado to live with her mom.

White Horse’s top grad heading to Tarleton By Ashley Inge
ainge@empiretribune.com
Rainey Johnson has been named White Horse Christian Academy’s 2019 valedictorian. Johnson is originally from Grandview and was homeschooled, but she found White Horse in Stephenville and knew she had to go to school there because it fit in well with her future plans. “I really enjoyed being able to be in a school environment again and I am going to Tarleton so I decided to go ahead and move there and just live at home and go to college,” she said. Johnson participates in rodeo, and said she enjoyed the school’s daily devotionals
and playing volleyball during breaks. She said her biggest accomplishments are “maintaining over a 4.0 GPA” and being valedictorian. She is also proud for already completing a year of college while still in high school. After graduation, Johnson plans to attend Tarleton State University where she will major in legal studies and minor in business. She plans to finish her time at Tarleton in two years and then go on to law school. When asked how it felt to be named valedictorian, Johnson said, “it’s rewarding. “All of my hard work has been paid off,” she said. “It makes it feel like it was worth it, all of those years of working hard in school.”
