Graduation PracticesBy Raechelle Sandoval '18 With Graduation a week away, the countdown is coming to an end. Seniors are finishing their class and getting their check-out slips signed. But it isn't over yet. Graduation practices have been set, and will be held as follows:
13th Annual Dance ShowcaseBy Raechelle Sandoval '18 Thursday, April 26th Gallup High Bengal Girls and Starlette Dance held their 13th Annual Showcase in the Kenneth Holloway Auditorium. The Showcase featured Jazz, Hip Hop, and Pom performances by all groups as well as, a variety of singer and decade themed performances, solos, a duet, and a parent dance. Seniors of the YearBy Raechelle Sandoval '18 Every year, each school in the region picks two Seniors to be Rotary Senior of the year, one boy and one girl. These students come from those who have been voted Seniors of the Month. Teachers will again vote for one guy and one girl from the Senior of the Month list. Then every Senior of the Month will write an essay and go through an interview to compete for Student of the Year. Once they are chosen, they will compete with the Seniors of the Year from other schools for overall Rotary Senior of the Year. This year, Lucia Kezele and Wacey Begay got GHS Seniors of the Year. Lucia went on to win overall Rotary Senior of the Year and a $6,000 scholarship, and Wacey got an Honorable Mention with a $1,000 scholarship. I asked both for their advice for anyone who hopes to get Senior of the Year in the years to come. “My only advice I can give is to stay involved. I was involved in multiple extracurricular at Gallup High School besides dance. I’ve been involved in the community for years as well. Just be confident and stay involved.” Lucia said. Last Week's Poll ResultsLast week we asked if you were excited that the school year was almost over, 100% said yes.
