Morgan City High seniors celebrate graduation

Friday was graduation night for 136 Morgan City High students at Municipal Auditorium.

The top graduates recognized at the ceremony, all 4.0 students, were Emily Allemond, Jase Blanco, Hannah Ebbecke, Kailey Partain and Montana Pillaro.

Serai Richards, the graduation emcee, was introduced as the school's Student of the Year. Kristy Lam received the Principal's Award; she was also the award-winner for having the top scores in the math and science departments.

The commencement was the last for Principal Tim Hymel, who is retiring. In his address, he noted that this year's seniors had only one normal year free of COVID restrictions and cancellations. He said students may be tempted to look back on their studies and regret that they didn't work harder. Hindsight is 20/20, he said.

"My advice to you is to make foresight 20/20," Hymel said.
