Fifteen Wrangell seniors graduated high school May 16. KSTK’s Colette Czarnecki stopped by the school gym where they were setting up for their ceremony later that night to see how they’re feeling. The graduates in the gym shared memories while in school and what’s next for them. Daniel Harrison and Lucas Schneider were not present during the interviews. KSTK sends this audio postcard.
