Principal offers his thanks

Dear edtor:

Commencement for the Class of 2009 was held Friday, May 22, at Tiger Field.

Mountain Home High School would like to thank the community of Mountain Home for all their support this year. Not only did the community award these students with over $88,000 in local scholarships, it also supported all of our athletic and activity programs throughout the year.

In addition, I would like to thank Vicki Wise and Yard Creations for donating shrubs to decorate the stage at graduation. Julie Vogl of Mulberry Place was kind enough to donate the pillars and trees that were placed on the graduation stage.

This community is great at supporting our students.

I would also like to thank the Mountain Home School District Maintenance Department and the high school custodians for setting everything up and making sure the facility was in great shape.

Also, I would like to thank the parents of the Class of 2009 for all their support this year. We were privileged to be entrusted with their children's futures and I hope we didn't disappoint. These parents spent countless hours putting together the Senior Celebration party, where over 180 students celebrated graduation in a safe manner.

Finally, to the seniors--Thank You. You rose to every challenge I asked of you and set the bar high for future classes. You have left your mark at MHHS and I appreciate getting the opportunity to work with each of you.

I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Jeff Johnson, Principal
