Seniors commit to future plans at Signing Day event
Allen Hill plans to attend West Texas A&M University with a goal of being a large animal veterinarian. Josie Cole signed with College of the Siskiyous to play volleyball and will study nursing. Kylie Basso is aiming for a career in forensics after studying criminal justice at Umpqua Community College.
The three Bonanza Junior/Senior High School seniors joined their classmates May 8 for the school’s second annual Signing Day, a celebration honoring and recognizing the choices seniors have made and a way to inspire younger classmates to plan for their futures. Families attended, watching their students sign for their intended path and taking photos.
The soon-to-be high school graduates will represent their alma mater at four community colleges, six four-year universities, and in the workforce. Among chosen career paths are therapists, social workers, an ultrasound technician, a computer hardware engineer, ranch manager, and zoologist.
Bonanza’s counselor Andy Davis organized the event to celebrate the class of 2023’s plans and accomplishments.
“The road that lies ahead after high school will not be easy. There will be challenges and obstacles,” he told the seniors. “However, even when you feel like you cannot possibly continue – you can. … And whether it be at school, at work, or just becoming a better person, always, always, continue to make progress.”
