Boyle County sends off 181 graduates

It remains to be seen  how members of Boyle County High School's Class of 2011 will distinguish themselves in the future, but individually and as a group they have started an impressive resume already.Friday night’s commencement ceremony in the high school gymnasium was an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments of the 181 seniors.Principal Will Begley gave an abridged but impressive accounting of the group’s triumphs:Five Governor's Scholars. Top 25 in ACT scores and the preliminary versions of the test given to 8th grade students and sophomores. A graduate of the Western Kentucky University Gatton Academy for Math and Science (Justine Missik). A member of the University of Kentucky women's tennis team  (CeCe Witten). Mr. Football (Lamar Dawson). Two state football championships.While celebrating the accomplishments of the last four years, one of the top graduates, Jennifer Harris, used her time at the podium to flash forward. Harris, who received the "Most Likely to Succeed" title from her peers and is bound for the University of Louisville's J.B. Speed School of Engineering, encouraged the class to strive for greatness while staying true to themselves. Envisioning their 20th reunion, Harris said she hoped she would still recognize the people who both carried out fundraisers for earthquake victims in Haiti and pranks in the halls of the school.Eric Evans, who will study biomedical engineering at the University of Kentucky in the fall, used the framework of a commencement staple, Dr. Seuss' "Oh! The Places You'll Go," to talk about the places the class has already been.Evans also spoke about the hard work that would be necessary for the students to continue their success. Throwing in a nod to Dawson's future at the University of Southern California, Evans urged his classmates to stay disciplined if they want to reap future rewards from the hard work started in the halls of BCHS.Boyle County High School Class of 2011: Tanner Abbott, Kristofer O.
