- Tonya Peppers will be attending E. H. Gentry for further training and plans to pursue a career in daycare services for children.
- Jordan Price, who finished second in class, plans to pursue a career in law enforcement.
- Baylee Scearce used her time in quarantine since March to finish her high school credits a year early. She graduated with plans to attend Central Alabama Community College and study welding.
PHFC President Doug Marshall and Director of Education Linda Harris officiated the ceremony. The Rev. Leeann Scarbrough of First Presbyterian Church delivered the keynote address. Music was provided by the very talented Mr. Christopher Henley, who is also a member of the Home’s Junior Board.
