Eighty-three East Robertson High School seniors marched across the front of the school gym on Friday, May 17, to receive their diplomas and recognition as full-fledged ERHS graduates.

Valedictorian Hanna Sermons and Salutatorian Abigail Dixon each addressed their fellow-graduates during the ceremony, before Principal Mary Cook spoke to the entire group. 

Sixty-three graduates are heading to post-secondary training of some type and 34 students completed their high school career with a GPA of 3.5 or better.  Thirty-four graduated with Honors, 20 graduated with Distinction, 14 with State Honors, and 9 were TN Scholars.  Nineteen students have completed 12 hours or more of college credits.

Scholarship totals awarded to graduates this year totaled more than $675,000.    

Of special note for the evening was the presentation of an honorary diploma to the parents of Ethan Bibb.  Ethan, who would have graduated with this class, passed away in the 3^rd grade from Cancer.
