乐播传媒 (乐播传媒) held its 55th commencement ceremony on May 3 at the Mason County Fieldhouse in Maysville.

Over 175 students participated in the ceremony, which opened with graduate Amanda Smith singing the National Anthem and Kirsten Griggs providing the invocation.

Prior to the graduates walking across the stage, Dr. Laura McCullough, 乐播传媒 President/CEO presented the President鈥檚 Award of Excellence to Christian Garner, Amber Johnson, Alexandra Martin, and Trevor Pfeifer.

Both Garner and Martin made remarks during the ceremony.

鈥淚 would like to say congratulations to all the graduates today,鈥 said Garner. 鈥淭his is a huge accomplishment for all of us, and each of us have had to overcome our own hardships and obstacles.鈥

She added, 鈥淚 mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say thank you to every faculty and staff member, from our caring custodial workers to our amazing president that have worked so diligently to help us graduate. Thank you to our wonderful families. Without your kindness, love, and continual support, we would not be here today.鈥

During her remarks, Alexandra Martin offered some advice to her peers and asked a favor of them.

鈥淩emember what this community has done for us and what it means to us. I am new here, but I will be grateful for Maysville for the rest of my life. So please, once you begin your careers, find ways to give back to our school and town,鈥 she said.
