Five high school seniors received their diplomas Thursday at the Adriel School graduation ceremony. Principal Todd Hanes congratulated them on their hard work and accomplishments and wished them success on the road ahead. Logan County Educational Service Center Superintendent Heather Neer quoted Winston Churchill, saying that “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Adriel, founded as an orphan’s home by the Mennonite Church in 1896, is a not-for-profit agency that provides foster care, adoption, and residential treatment services for children who have been abused and neglected.
