158

When Maricopa High School’s 115 graduates cross the stage tonight to receive their diplomas and turn the tassels on their mortarboards, many of them will already have made plans for the future.

Some, like co-valedictorians and identical twins Austin and Clinton Anderson, know exactly where they will be attending college in the fall. The Andersons are heading for their father’s alma mater, Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, the town where they were born.

Salutatorian Kari Baker will attend Arizona State University, having spent the last semester at Central Arizona College after finishing her high school class work in December.

The message from the faculty, staff and administration at Maricopa High School notes that this class, the Class of 2007, “have raised the bar and set the challenge to future classes.”

At the recent awards convocation the following seniors were honored for their accomplishments during four years of high school. According to the administration, the scholarships awarded to various seniors totaled about $1 million.
