Lydia Lancaster, Dexter High School graduated and now a Doctor of Dental Medicine spoke to the students and gave a speech about the Top Ten Pieces of Advice or the Top 10%.
"It is such an honor to be here tonight," commented Lancaster. "It seems like yesterday that I graduated. However reality started to sink in that the last time I sat here in this auditorium was in 2007, the year I graduated. That was 16 years ago. So not quite yesterday. Sixteen years is longer than some of the freshmen and sophomores have been alive. I am overwhelmed that something that seems like yesterday and almost how much time has passed. That was tough pill for me to swallow."
The Freshmen Honorees in alphabetical order are Merideth Benton, Cadence Buenaventura, Serina Churchill, Klaire Essner, Jaylyn Lindemann, Haley Miller, Adrian Munoz, Houston Neely, Malia Polley, Emma Sadler, Ava Schaefer, Eli Scott, Jonas Shoemaker, Mattie Thompson, and Elijah Whiteman.
