In addition, the YLHS Class of 2017 comprised of 13 National Merit and Commended Scholars, earned $4.3 million dollars in college scholarships and grants, and donated over 55,200 hours of service to the community!
The ceremony included honored guests such as both Board of Education Vice President and Trustee, Carol Downey and Eric Padget, as well as Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, David Giordano, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel Services, Kevin Lee, Director of Executive Services, Richard McAlindin, and Principal Dave Flynn.
