Norwalk City School District recognized its top two seniors and its school resource officer during an educational-spotlight segment at Monday’s board meeting.

The superintendent and other speakers highlighted Farmer’s participation in orchestra, athletics and academic challenge programs.
The district also honored school resource officer Mike Conney, introduced as the district’s SRO in his second year. Multiple speakers praised his law-enforcement experience and relationship with students.
