SMITHFIELD – Three students will share the top of the class this year with two co-valedictorians, Maximilian Chelminski and Cameron Kasbarian, and a salutatorian, Victoria Richard, as Smithfield High School transitions out of its traditional class ranking system.
SHS Principal Dan Kelley said the year was already challenging enough, and students kept the competition tight for top rankings. He said he was proud of the school’s top three, who persevered among a class of 165 students.
The Autrey Mill Middle School Science Olympiad team participated in the state science competition at the University of Georgia last weekend cinching 4th place.
The AMMS team, led by Science teacher Kayla Garner, consisted of 30 dedicated students in grades six through eight.
