Graduation is time to celebrate, but it's also time to reflect on relationships that formed during a students education. We are fortunate in Page County that some of these relationships continue for many, many years, and will even continue once they move on to the next stages of their lives. When those students come back to see you "one final time" it makes what we do every single day mean that much more. They are, after all, the reason we do what we do. Mrs. Hinegardner, principal of Shenandoah Elementary School, got a surprise visit today from two students from the Luray High School Class of 2022 whom she taught in 3rd grade at Luray Elementary School. They drove all the way down to Shenandoah Elementary, in caps and gowns, just so she could see them. This is what it's all about. Congratulations to all of our seniors, it's your time to shine!
