South Range commencement bittersweet goodbye, hello

NORTH LIMA

This evening, 111 South Range High School seniors proudly walked across a stage in their school gymnasium and accepted a certificate into adulthood – a high school diploma.

Ten valedictorians were tasked with coming up with speeches to say hello to adulthood and goodbye to their childhoods.

Valedictorian Jordan Campanelli said she was both sad and excited to say goodbye to South Range and hello to John Carroll University, where she will be studying biology and neuroscience.

Ryan Sympson, valedictorian, said high school had been “quite the ride,” but he was even more excited to start another at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, on a football scholarship.
