“Thank you for pursuing excelle nce in the classroom, on the sta ge, on the courts and on the playin g fields,” Northern Guilford principal Janiese McKenzie tol d the school’s 317 graduates of the Class of 2022 at their June 4 gra duation ceremony. “Collectively , your efforts combine to make ou r school one of the best schools in North Carolina.” This year’s seniors earned $6.92 million in scholarships and had numerous academic and athleti c accomplishments (this was the first year Northern competed in the Metro 4A high school athleti c conference, often against schoo ls twice its size). Thirteen graduates have commi tted to serve in a branch of the armed forces, and were individ ually recognized along with the ir parents. The parents of Sean Bu ckley, who is already serving ove r rseas in the U.S. Army, were pre sented with his diploma. McKe nzie noted that in all high schools in the Guilford County Schools system, each student entering the military or into a commissionin g program will be honored on a permanent placard at their hig h school with their name, year of graduation and branch of servic e.
