ECHS Class of 2015 Moves On

It was an emotional afternoon on Saturday, May 23rd as the 2015 class of Edmonson County High School said their final goodbyes as students at the annual commencement ceremony. 117 students made up this year's class with many receiving scholarships and being recognized for outstanding achievements. 

Miss Regan Sailing was honored as valedictorian and received the Regents Scholarship from Western Kentucky University, as well as the Edmonson County Education Association Scholarship. She was an honor student, held a 4.0 or higher GPA and was also a Youth Leadership graduate.
