In a recent meeting, Donna Allred, senior class advisor, reported to the Juab High School board on the status of seniors, the number who will graduate in those ceremonies, and the number attending the annual senior trek.

Eight of the seniors were still in the process of completing independent study courses which are required for graduation. Two more are in school but will not meet graduation requirements.

Three students transferred to another school during their senior year.

"Five students, who were members of this class, left school without graduating," said Allred.

Eight students completed graduation requirements early, she said. Two of those students completed requirements.

Eight students completed graduation requirements early, she said. Two of those students completed requirements by the end of their junior year, three more students completed requirements by the end of the second quarter, and three more completed requirements after the third quarter.

All potential graduates have completed competencies in reading and governance. Five students still must meet the competencies in math and one student needs to meet the writing assessment competency.

"No one is being issued a certificate of completion rather than a diploma this year," said Allred.

Scholarships will be awarded at graduation ceremonies, said Allred. Four students will receive Utah State University scholarship offers, one will receive a Brigham Young University scholarship offer, eight students will receive offers from Dixie, two will receive offers from Weber State, 12 from Utah Valley State College, one from BYU Idaho, two from the University of Utah, three from Westminster, one from Southern Utah University, seven from Snow College, and three from the College of Eastern Utah.

"We have more students planning to attend the senior trek this year than ever before," said Allred. "Seventy-five are planning to attend."

She seniors will leave for California on the evening of graduation. Students will participate in graduation ceremonies beginning at 6:30 p.m. And will then load buses and leave on the trip at 9:30 p.m.
