With caps and gowns in hand, some of the top high school students in the area posed for pictures with their peers and shared a luncheon specifically held in their honor. The area’s top students representing their high schools were honored at the 15th Annual Best of the Class held at The Lied Center for Performing Arts, on Thursday, May 10.
In the morning, students interacted with other students as Channel 8 KLKN-TV camera crews recorded them to be incorporated into Best of the Class commercial announcements, which will air on Channel 8 KLKN-TV. Students posed for a group picture before being treated to a short program and a luncheon catered by Raising Cane’s. The luncheon program was hosted by Channel 8 Eyewitness News anchors Rod Fowler and Megan Conway. The featured speaker was Aaron Davis, who was a defensive back for the 1994 Nebraska Cornhusker Championship football team and is now a motivational speaker.
The Lied Center for Performing Arts, Raising Cane’s, Graham Tire, Pepsi, and Gordman’s sponsored the event along with Channel 8 KLKN-TV.
