73 Campbell grads look to their futures after tonight's commencement

CAMPBELL

High academic achievements and proud accomplishments are two main high-school highlights Courtney Michaels, Nomiki Tsagaris and Kalliope Zembillas share, but suffice it to say they will continue to have one thing in common long after they put away their caps and gowns: the desire to reach out and help others.

“After high school, I want to go to YSU for nursing and be an anesthesiologist,” said Michaels, a Campbell Memorial High School Class of 2016 graduate. “I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field.”

But first was the task of receiving her high-school diploma, which she and 72 fellow grads did at Thursday’s commencement at the school, 280 Sixth St.

Tsagaris, class president, said she plans to enter Kent State University’s pre-med program this fall, aiming to be a neurologist.

“I’m very happy, nervous, proud and excited,” said Zembillas, whose main plans are to major in chemistry at Youngstown State University and go to medical school.

The commencement speaker was Maria Rohan, a registered nurse at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland and a 2005 Campbell High grad.
