HS WOULD LIKE to wish all of our seniors the best of luck as they move into the next phase of their lives.
The past 14 months have challenged their perseverance and determination to stay on track with school and their final moments as students. With everything they have had to experience, we can’t be more proud of how they have handled this roller coaster of a school year. Each of them are special to EHS and we are hopeful that they will walk-away with positive learning experiences and be successful adults after graduation. Thank you for being who you are and we hope to hear from you soon!
Emporia High School Graduation Graduation will be on Sunday, May 23rd @ 3p.m. @ WLW Civic Auditorium Graduation will be limited to those who receive an attendance voucher from a senior graduate. Our graduation will be live streamed at the following link: https://boxcast.tv/channel/emporia-high-school---graduation-616000

Graduation Information: Graduation will be Saturday, May 22, at 7:00 pm in the gymnasium. Each graduate will be able to invite 8 people to graduation. It will be live streamed.
They are a class of great leaders with great leadership on and off the athletic field/court of play. They are accountable, encourage self-motivation, promote good work ethic, and are flexible. This class helped lead our school as we implemented redesign and continued it during the second semester. They led our school in moving our students from not just traditional learning but creating projects "outside the box" with much community service. They helped lead our school as we made it our goal to keep our school open every day of the pandemic. Our seniors received many wonderful athletic and academic scholarships. We will truly miss our 2021 Seniors as they begin their next chapter of life.

TEPPING INTO A NEW PRINCIPAL POSITION during a worldwide pandemic was never in my plan.
I didn't know what to expect, but I believed that this position would bring many opportunities to grow and learn, and it did. This year has brought many challenges. Challenges that we would have never imagined, but with everyone working together, we were able to conquer the majority of them. I have been blessed with a great group of students, staff, and parents, and I could not have asked for a better group of seniors to lead our student body. It has been a tremendous pleasure to have them in our school. Seniors, it is that time of year that you feel like you have to say goodbye and take the next step in your life, but always remember that you will always be part of our Bulldog Family.

N BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE STAFF of Neosho Rapids Elementary and Hartford Jr/Sr High School, I want to congratulate each of you as you complete your journey through high school.
I have enjoyed seeing you grow and mature into the quality young men and women that you have become and I am excited for what the future holds for each of you. I have enjoyed watching you compete academically and athletically these four years and rise above the myriad of challenges that comes with being a high school student in today’s society. As a class, you have risen above every roadblock to education that the COVID-19 pandemic has foisted upon you and have crossed the finish line in this chapter of your life successfully. We, as a staff, consider the fact that we were able to provide a safe, in-person school year for your senior year, to be one of our greatest successes of your high school experience. Though your time as a student draws to a close, you will always be part of our Jaguar story. As you leave our halls and venture out into the world as alumni and productive citizens, I leave you with these words from Donovan Livingston, an educator and poet: “At the core, none of us were meant to be common. We were born to be comets, darting across space and time, leaving our mark as we crash into everything.” Congratulations,
Mr. Hes Hartford High School Principal
City of Hartford 200 Commercial • (620) 392-5513
Proud to Support the Jaguars
