More than two dozen Revilla High School graduates took to the stage last week to celebrate their achievements. Some received scholarships and honors, while others were commended for earning a diploma they weren’t sure they’d ever get.

Speakers included Principal Kurt Lindemann, Matt Tibbles and Matt Hamilton.

The alternative school’s mission “is to serve the needs of all learners in a non-traditional setting.  We especially serve those learners that are at risk of failing to meet state graduation requirements.”

“We strive to meet the unique educational, social, and emotional needs of our diverse student population in a safe, nurturing and family-like environment.”
