#SeniorSpotlight 🌟🎓

Please help us congratulate Joseph Allen Hamrick, graduating senior at McAdory High School!

Joseph will be a 3rd generation McAdory graduate and has attended McAdory schools for around 13 years. During his time as a student, Joseph has thrived in sports, finding joy in JEFCOED’s Adapted P.E. programs. He enjoys the bowling, volleyball, and basketball events, but his absolute favorite is Gone Fishin', Not Just Wishin'. At this year’s event, he caught 13 fish!

Outside of sports, Joseph has had many exciting opportunities through Ms. Vining’s class. He and his classmates just recently starred in an award-winning production for the Litter Quitters Video Contest. Their video not only advocated for a cleaner planet, but also secured $1,000 to go toward their classroom.

Joseph has made a major impact on his school and community as a student, and we know he will continue to accomplish wonderful things after graduation! Way to go, Joseph!
