I can’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve been at The Tribune. Not long after I started last year, among my first assignments was covering local high school graduations. Now here we are again, several stories, videos, photos and cutlines later, and now the Class of 2008 has graduated.

The first Jackson County high school to graduate was Medora High School. The small southwestern Jackson County town’s school graduated 14 this year, which is the same as last year. I’ve heard it is either one of the smallest or it is the smallest school in Indiana. This will be the school’s 108th graduation.

Twenty-six seniors graduated from Trinity Lutheran High School. 2004 was the first graduating class from this Seymour Lutheran school. That’s a big jump from 2006, when it had eight graduates. Last year it had 32.

Brownstown Central High School graduated 132 seniors, exceeding last year by two.

Crothersville High School had its 112th graduation in the gymnasium. The 32 graduates this year is the same as last year.

Seymour High School graduates filed into the school’s gymnasium one last time on Sunday. There was an increase of eight this year, with 262 seniors receiving diplomas at the biggest school in the county.

We’ve written stories, shot photos and took videos at each graduation, so check out tribtown.com for full coverage.

To the graduates, as you think of what the future holds for you, don’t forget to think about the fond memories and the people who have helped you along the way. Those are things and people you will never forget, and they are things and people that you should be thankful for. I know when I graduated, those things were on my mind. Come to think of it, they still are now.
