Centre County Christian Academy grads turn tassels, page in taking next step
School: Centre County Christian Academy
Graduating class: 2016
Number of graduates: 3
Colors: School colors are blue, white and gold. The three graduates wore white robes with gold tassels.
Principal: Kristy Smith
Where: Calvary Bible Church
Student speakers: Hannah Boughton, Abigail Maholic, Alexis Rossman
Keynote speaker: Kenneth Gore
Funny moment: Gore gave 20-year “predictions” for each of the three graduates. He predicted Maholic, the valedictorian, would become founder and CEO of “Kitty City: The largest worldwide cat adoption corporation in history.” Titters trembled tassels.
Favorite memories: Rossman, who plans on attending Penn Tech for nursing, said one of her favorite memories involved a campfire, a game called “scallops” and hanging out with friends after winning a soccer game. Both Boughton and Maholic reminisced about playing soccer and basketball together. Maholic plans on attending Summit University to study early childhood and elementary education.
Tips for underclassmen: Boughton, who will join Rossman at Penn Tech for nursing, told underclassmen to “just keep your head up, work hard and it will be worth it in the end.”
