21. Mariah Daly, Valedictorian Class of 2016 and IB Diploma Recipient
High school is tough, but my family here at LWHS makes coming to school everyday brighter and more fulfilling. Every student and every staff member in our Highlander Family help each other to reach their goals. At LWHS, the staff and teachers attempt to prepare you for life- they strive to help you find your niche, whether it is preparation for college or for a career from agriculture to the medical field. The teachers here care about each and everyone of us, and we cannot thank them enough for the time they put in outside the classroom to help us succeed. It's a blessing to get this level of education- for free!
