Cosmetology instructor, Sylvina Buckley said she is especially proud of this class of graduates for many reasons.

“They have worked hard, overcome challenges related to learning during a pandemic, and have done so well! I am especially proud that almost all of them have already secured a job. I know the last two students will have something shortly!” said Buckley.

Several students were honored with special recognition at the ceremony. Janie Parish of Prentiss earned the “Top of Class” honor with the highest GPA.
