HHS graduates ‘awesome’ class

It was a short and simple statement, but got big cheers from those in the audience donning caps and gowns.

After welcoming the gathered crowd to Hazen High School’s 2009 Commencement Exercises, senior Andrew Karges gazed out at his peers from the stage and said three simply sweet words: "We are awesome."

Indeed it seemed that way, as the talented and ambitious HHS Class of 2009 graduated 64 students during commencement exercises Sunday in the Hazen High School gym. It was a statement even school authority couldn’t deny.
