Assistant Principal Jake Curl presents the special Bison Award to Tucker Gillespie and Madison Tarencz-Rasmusen, who were also senior speakers at Friday’’s McCook High School graduation ceremonies at the Graff Events Center on the McCook Community College campus. Decorated mortar boards indicate the graduating class is taking to heart Gillespie’s admonition — don’t dream, set a goal and work toward it, as well as Rasmussen’s advice “don’t be afraid of change.”
