Top Graduates At SSHS

In a formal announcement in the Sulphur Springs High School Media Center, on Monday morning, SSHS Principal, Chuck King, announced the Valdictorian and Salutatorian of the 2006 SSHS Graduating Class. King gave a list of the many accomplishments of the two top individuals and introduced their parents.

Morgan Baima, daughter of Steve and Laura Baima, of Sulphur Springs, was named Valdictorian, with a grade point average of 5.636. Morgan has participated in a number of activities in her four years at SSHS. She is a member of the Lady Wildcat Soccer Team and Cross Country Team. She has participated in the UIL Math and Science Contests and is an accomplished pianist. She has received the Spanish II, Spanish III, and Spanish IV Awards, the Pre-AP Chemistry Award, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Morgan  plans to attend St. Edward's University in Austin, where she plans on a career as an obstetrician. Morgan did admit to "making an occasional 'B,' in her studies at SSHS," but not many to achieve the outstanding grade point average.

In announcing Jeffrey Kramer, as the Salutatorian of the 2006 Class, King stated that he accumulated a 5.550 grade point average and has served as the president of the SSHS National Honor Society for 2005-06, been a member of the Leadership Sulphur Springs Class, is listed as a National Merit Scholar Finalist, and has been named a Terry Foundation Scholar at the University of Texas at Austin. Kramer, the son of John and Suzy Kramer, plans to pursue a career in psychology at the University of Texas. Jeffrey has been a member of the Wildcat Basketball Team, the One-Act Play Cast, and served in a number of leadership roles in the school.

Jeffrey was asked how many "B's" he had made, and he quickly inserted, "Undoubtedly, a few more than Morgan!"

Both Morgan and Jeffrey will be recognized again at the Honors Breakfast and the Honors Assembly, to be held on May 16th. Graduation exercises for the Class of 2006 will be conducted in the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center Arena, on May 26th, at 8:00 p.m.

Congratulations
