This ceremony recognized dozens of seniors for their scholastic and other accomplishments over the past four years, including seniors Hailey Oppenlander and Nora Nelson, who earned the Top Scholar Award for having the highest grade-point averages in the class. Both will attend the University of Notre Dame in the fall.
