Ohio Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel delivers the keynote address during Ohio Hi-Point Career Center’s Class of 2026 Convocation Ceremony on Wednesday at Bellefontaine High School. Speaking before graduates, families and supporters gathered in a packed gymnasium, Tressel encouraged students to approach the future with “an attitude of gratitude,” surround themselves with positive influences and maintain perspective through life’s challenges and successes. The ceremony celebrated the Class of 2026 under the theme “Prepared by Grit, Powered by Opportunities,” while recognizing student achievements in academics, workforce preparation, military service and post-secondary education. Several Marysville students were among those highlighted during the ceremony, including Senior Student of the Year Eugenia Matta Trujillo and master of ceremonies Kyan Thomas. (Photos submitted)
