Summary
The School City of Hammond recognized elementary Science Olympiad winning teams and named salutatorians and valedictorians from Morton and Hammond Central; district confirmed graduation dates and staggered dismissal times for the last day of school.
The board used its May 26 meeting to celebrate student achievement.
