West Liberty-Salem Class of 2020 Seniors receive almost $2 million in scholarships during Virtual Senior Recognition Evening

WEST LIBERTY — West Liberty-Salem honored the Class of 2020 during a two part Virtual Senior Awards Recognition Evening on May 5. The Class of 2020, like all of our classes, is very special in many ways. Principal Greg Johnson acknowledged what a wonderful group of students WL-S is proud to celebrate by saying, “You have faced a level of adversity throughout highschool that very few students have faced. You experienced a school shooting your freshman year, losing a fellow classmate your junior year, and a senior year cut short and impacted in many different ways by our current situation.I am impressed by your resiliency, your tenacity, and your support for each other. You are a wonderful class.”

Principal Greg Johnson, High School Counselor Molly Smith, and Counseling Office Secretary Candace Watson worked hard to create a virtual experience that recognized all seniors, scholarship recipients, athletic awards, and class award recipients. Over $1,859,807 in military, college, and local scholarships were awarded to the class of 2020 with 42% of the class earning scholarships and eight students earning full tuition scholarships. Congratulations to the class of 2020.
