Drumroll, please! We are so proud to announce Milford High School's 2022 valedictorian and salutatorians. Earning a 4.44, one of the highest GPAs ever at MHS, senior Fletcher Smith has earned the top spot: Valedictorian. Seniors Zachary Bonza-Brodie and Erin Scheske each earned a 4.41 and will share the honor of salutatorian. Seven other seniors also earned top GPA honors: Nicholas Blanchard, Grace Carey, Paige Crowley, Elise Elliot, Ryan Meyer, Kenna Morgan, and Ella Warzecha, each earning well above a 4.0. In order to earn above the traditional 4.00, students must excel in all classes including many Advanced Placement-level courses. Each of these students has worked tirelessly to be the best and this academic feat could not have been accomplished without a high degree of dedication, perseverance, and determination. These students exemplify the HVS Vision: Inspiring and Building Futures, One Student at a Time. Congratulations! #HVSProud
