Students
designated as their high school’s honorees received a certificate, South Dakota
pin and the opportunity to meet and have their picture taken with Gov. Noem.
“Look at challenges as opportunities. An opportunity to find out who you were
meant to be,” Gov. Noem told the seniors. “When you hit a challenge, you become
a problem solver.”
ASBSD president Lisa Snedeker noted the day was a celebration of the students and their achievements.
“Before you head out on your next adventure, we celebrate your hard work. Today, we celebrate your achievements,” Snedeker said.
