WISCONSIN RAPIDS — Lincoln High School held its 2017 commencement on Sunday.

This was Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools Superintendent Colleen Dickman’s last graduation, as she will retire at the end of this school year. Special music selection included “The Phantom of the Opera” by Andrew Lloyd Weber — arranged by Warren Barker, and “Wind Ensemble”, conducted by Jeanne Olson.

The Senior Address was given by honor students Brooke Brewbaker, Riley Garski, Kaitlyn Schooley, Mitchell Dillon, Kaitlyn Scheunemann, Karlie Helmuth, Tayla Cashman, Evan Ruesch, Ryann Swanson, Megan Wilhorn, Karlee Weiler, Riley Drechsler, Mackenzie Mattheis, Benjamin Ontl, and Tanna Dorhorst.

A special welcome address was given by Class President Evan Ruesch and the Faculty Address given by Language Arts Teacher Kurt Jensen. The ceremony concluded with the turning of the tassel, and the Alma Mater.
