Senior members of the Seminary Singers walked out from the crowd of their fellow graduates and joined the choir for one last performance at commencement Sunday afternoon.
Singing “Seasons of Love” from the Broadway musical “Rent,” the choir asked how does one measure a year — In minutes? In sunsets? In cups of coffee?
Others wondered how to measure a class of graduates.
Many numbers were provided at Poland Seminary High School’s commencement ceremony Sunday. Ninety-three percent of the 195 graduating seniors are going to college and, collectively, are receiving $3,858,000 in scholarships, more than any other graduating class from PSHS.
Of those attending college, 145 graduates will attend an institution of higher learning in Ohio, and 76 will stay close to home at Youngstown State University in the fall.
Valedictorian speaker Lidia Mowad noted that statistically “2 percent of us will marry our high school sweethearts ... and 28 percent of us will have kids.”
