Hauser sees large graduation class for 2022

HOPE – One of the largest senior classes in the history of Hauser Jr.-Sr. High School graduated inside the school’s gymnasium Friday.

Compared to a four-year average of 58 graduates, a total of 79 students walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. That number reflects the 4.1% overall growth in population Hope has experienced during the past 20 years.

In the opinion of FHSC superintendent Shawn Price, the Class of 2022 will be remembered primarily for their perseverance.

“They have been through a lot during the last two years, especially with the pandemic,” Price said. “There are already enough challenges just navigating your way through normal high school. But this was a class that stuck to it and managed to come through their ordeals even stronger.”
