Humboldt High graduates 115 in class of 2017

Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/25/2017 - 12:02am

Six Humboldt High School seniors were honored with Valedictorian or Salutatorian awards.

Katheryn Curran, Sophia Luu, Ivan Rasmussen, Johnathon Wer-geland, and Abigail Zaugg were named Valedictorians of the Hum-boldt High School graduating Class of 2017 at commencement ceremonies held Sunday afternoon, May 21, in the high school gymna-sium. The Salutatorian honor went to Elizabeth Duffield. Sophia Luu and Ivan Rasmussen were awarded the Marvyl Friesth Award.
The Marvyl Friesth Award orig-inated over 80 years ago following a tragic accident in which a student passed away. Because the class-mates of Marvyl Friesth felt so strongly about the high caliber of living and participation exempli-fied by this young woman, they initiated what has become an an-nual award to the top senior boy and girl.
