School bells ring for a final time Wednesday in Athens: it is the last day of class in the Clarke County School District. Students are out on summer break and won’t return until the August 3 start of the 2022-23 school year. That will be the same day as the start of a new school year in Oconee County.
The Clarke County School District says plans for an outdoor graduation ceremony for Clarke Central High School have been scrapped because of the threat of rain. Commencement exercises that had been scheduled for Thursday morning at Billy Henderson Stadium will instead take place in UGA’s Stegeman Coliseum.
The Clarke County School District names this year’s class valedictorians and salutatorians, those graduating seniors with this year’s highest and second-highest grade point averages. Hadiza Sarr and Jacob Weiszer take the honors at Cedar Shoals High School, while Ludwig Lechtreck and Gretchen Hinger win the top scholastic billing at Clarke Central.
