HUNTINGTON â Hundreds of local students will soon take the last walk of their high school careers, dressed for success in their caps and gowns.
Cabell County Schools will hold commencement ceremonies next week for Cabell Midland and Huntington High School seniors, both of which will take place at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on the campus of Marshall University.
Tuesday, May 18, was the last instructional day for seniors in the district. Graduation ceremonies are less than a week away as the students complete what they have worked toward for over a decade.
Cabell Midlandâs graduation is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 27, with the stadium opening to the public two hours prior to start at 4 p.m. Approximately 425 students will be given diplomas during the ceremony.
FREMONT Her semester at Eastern Michigan University is over and Madeline Molyet returned home Sunday.
Most of Molyet s friends and family had been vaccinated, so the Fremont resident decided she needed to follow suit.
Molyet and her younger sister, Sarah, a St. Joseph Central Catholic High School senior, were among dozens of county residents who showed up Monday at Terra State Community College for a walk-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic, held in the college s Student Activities Center. It was the easiest option for me, Madeline Molyet said as she waited for her vaccine shot.
Sandusky County is still in the red on the state s public health advisory system, with 37 confirmed COVID-19 cases and one death reported last week.

PITTSFIELD â For one homeless person, the new daytime warming shelter at the Christian Center was a long time coming.
At least four times, he said, he walked to the centerâs Robbins Avenue address hoping to find a space inside, out of the cold, only to learn it wasnât yet open. That forced him to kill time outdoors until he could return to the homeless shelter at the former St. Josephâs Central Catholic High School.
âIt was rough,â said Java, who asked to be identified by his first name. That changed Tuesday, when he was one of a handful of people inside the new warming center, which now is open and staffed by the cityâs shelter provider, ServiceNet. On Tuesday, officials gathered to mark its debut.
