This year’s seniors earned $6.92 million in scholarships and had numerous academic and athletic accomplishments (this was the first year Northern competed in the Metro 4A high school athletic conference, often against schools twice its size). Thirteen graduates have committed to serve in a branch of the armed forces, and were individually recognized along with their parents. The parents of Sean Buckley, who is already serving overseas in the U.S. Army, were presented with his diploma. McKenzie noted that in all high schools in the Guilford County Schools system, each student entering the military or into a commissioning program will be honored on a permanent placard at their high school with their name, year of graduation and branch of service.
