Senior Sunrise, Class of 2027. 🌅
On Friday, August 14, before their last first day of school, these five Redhawks stood at the 50 and watched the sun come up over the field one more time as students. It's a small class and these young men represented well!
Then they completed their senior project so that everyone who drives down Pinon Hill can see LA VETA, spelled out in crimson and lined with stone on the north end of the Redhawks football field.
Here's to the final lap, seniors. We're proud of you already. 🔴⚪
