LOYD STAR — Hornet seniors moved their tassel and threw hats in the air to celebrate graduation Thursday at Loyd Star Attendance Center. In total, 37 seniors received diplomas Thursday evening.

Carson Hughey was the valedictorian and Alyssa Leggett was the salutatorian.

Principal Dena Ford made the welcoming address. She is not returning to the school next year.

“We are sending you off into the future,” Ford said. “Here is a quote to keep you moving forward. ‘If you want something you must be willing to do something you have never done.'”
