Aubrey Blomker, Elsie Hubbell, Brogan Lennon-Meyer and Braden Vik were recognized as graduates of Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge.

They were assisted by school superintendent Jim Murray, activities director Ryan O’Hern, board president Tate Satern, along with board members Dr. Bettie Burres Youngs and Shane Davis.
