About 100 AHS seniors, dressed in full regalia, enjoyed the company of distinguished award presenters, friends, relatives, parents and guardians.  Smiles were abundant throughout the AHS auditorium. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian were present, but no one knows the honorees' names yet.  A close GPA situation will result in the students and others finding out at the June 6th graduation ceremony.
 
Seniors received tens of thousands of dollars of scholarships and other awards that were given by a myriad of community groups and U.S. Military representatives. Other special recognitions were presented by school personnel, including Tim Baynum, AHS Assistant Principal.  He said that "I was a Freshman at AHS when they entered the 9th-grade, as it was my first year here; I am glad to honor them during our fourth year together.  They are a great group of students."

The gleeful seniors exemplified a part of Americana that some folks may not often think about.  The AHS Class of 2008 are happy, achievement-driven teens that have excelled in our great USA society.  Their teachers, families, and others have led them, but they have been the ones that had to "take the ball and run with it."
