The Wimberley High School Class of 2020 graduates ranking in the top-10 percent of their class, including the valedictorian and salutatorian, have been announced by Principal Jason Valentine.

The top-ranked senior and valedictorian is Anika Hawes. The second-ranked student and salutatorian is Kaitlyn Sloan. Other students ranked among the top-10 percent of the 173 graduates are (in order): Heath Schake, Shelby Morris, Lauren Walker, Benjamin Wilson, Cullen Cable, Cooper McCollum, Audrey Newman, Isis Harper, Daniela Guel, Grant Cabler, Ian Crain, Declan Duggan, Gregory “Cade” Houghton, Kennedee Shroyer, and Gabriela Perez. WHS plans to hold a graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020 at Texan Stadium on Friday, June 5 at 8:30 p.m.

“This senior class deserves all the praise that is heaped on them - especially with how the school year has ended,” Valentine said. “They leave a legacy of excellence and it’s due to the hard work that they’ve showcased over the last four years.”
