Glenwood City honors top seniors; three students named valedictorian
Summary
Glenwood City School District recognized five students for academic and technical excellence, naming three valedictorians and one salutatorian and announcing scholarship recipients; students delivered brief speeches about post‑graduation plans.
The Glenwood City School District opened its board meeting with an awards program recognizing top-performing juniors and seniors.
Superintendent Patrick (meeting moderator) and school leaders praised the students and credited counselor Mr. Mays for assembling a slideshow documenting the accomplishments. Board members and administrators highlighted that roughly half of the district’s juniors and seniors held GPAs of 3.5 or higher and pointed to ACT performance as support for the district’s grading standards.
The board named three valedictorians: Kayola (daughter of Randy and Becky), Landon (son of Tony and Jan), and a third student who was not in attendance; Opal was named salutatorian. The academic excellence scholarship recipient was Landon; the technical excellence scholarship was awarded to Logan Clatt, son of Tom. Students will receive medallions and formal recognition at the district awards night in May.
Selected students also spoke briefly about their plans. One student said they plan to attend North Technical College to study occupational therapy assisting, another noted an intent to study Spanish, and others described career or vocational plans. The board encouraged each student to thank teachers and staff during their graduation remarks.
After the short speeches, the district invited families and board members to take photographs with recipients. The recognition segment concluded with congratulations from multiple board members and administrators.
The meeting then returned to regular business, including consent items and policy discussions.
