The valedictorian is Emmalee Empey. She is the daughter of Gene and Jamie Empey of Abbotsford. Empey is pursuing a post-secondary degree at UW-Whitewater with a major of pre-law. The salutatorian is Grant Oelrich. He is the son of Gene and Leanne Oelrich of Spencer. In the fall, Grant will be attending UW-Green Bay pursuing a major in pre-med.

The class will graduate 75 students. The class motto is “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory,” by Dr. Seuss. The flower is a white rose dipped in gold.
