EAST ALTON - Friends and family members of the 2018 Oiler graduating class gathered at East Alton Wood River High School Wednesday evening as this year’s seniors received their diplomas.
Before the diplomas were presented, senior students that will be going into the military were recognized by those in attendance and the choir and band gave brief performances.
Valedictorian, Rachel Staten, said it’s bittersweet as this chapter of the students lives come to an end as they take the step towards the next “great adventure.”
“Up until now we’ve been leading similar lives structured in the same routine,” she said. “But today we sit here on the brink of our next great adventure.”
