LAGRANGE â Seniors Sadie Edsall and Keirstin Roose have been named valedictorians of Lakeland Jr/.Sr. High Schoolâs Class of 2021. Lakeland Principal Robert Albaugh made the announcement Monday.
Edsall is the daughter of Raymond and Charlotte Edsall of LaGrange. According to the school Edsall will attend either Purdue University, Rose Hulman University or Trine University in the fall. She has been offered a full scholarship to each institution.
While in high school, Edsall was inducted into Lakelandâs National Honor Society, and is a member of the schoolâs Science Academic Team. She also played varsity basketball and golf.
Edsall said her favorite memory of her time at Lakeland was winning back-to-back NECC golf titles.
He went on to say he hopes to announce the name of the new superintendent soon.
Dr. Eva Merkel, Lakelandâs current superintendent, announced late last year that she intends to retire at the end of this school year. Before becoming superintendent, Merkel was the principal at the schoolâs high school.
Larimer said he was pleased by the number of âqualityâ candidates that applied to be Lakelandâs next superintendent, although he made it clear he would not say how many applicants the school system had in that initial field of candidates.
Larimer did say that the search committee managed to narrow that field down to five, and after a round of interviews, narrowed that field down to three finalists.
