NATCHEZ — With a backdrop of a bright orange setting sun, 78 members of the Vidalia High School Class of 2024 grabbed their caps and tossed them high in the air, ending their youth and taking a step toward the future.
Hundreds of happy and supportive — and relieved — family and friends wore t-shirts with the images of the graduates, yelled, blew horns, and released balloons and confetti as each graduate walked to the stage to receive their diploma from Vidalia High School Principal Kara Masling.
Salutatorian Madison Brooke Ainsworth and Valedictorian Sarah Elizabeth Freeman thanked their classmates, reminisced about special moments in school, and thanked teachers and their parents. Hope Rollins sang a tribute to her classmates.
