SHS Alumni Awards Reception

By Randy Ruthford - Staff Writer | Jun 12, 2024

New this year Under the Big Top’s Alumni Awards Reception was held on Saturday night replacing the traditional banquet. By all accounts, the new event was a big success. Two of the highlights of the night were the amazing appetizers and desserts catered by Rivers Edge of St. Marys, and music provided by Remedy. Alumni Historian Jamie Hissam presented awards to parade winners and chapel speakers. Winning the 1st place float was the Class of 1979. The 2nd place float went to the Class of 1974 and 3rd place and the President’s Choice award went to the Class of 1984. Chapel speaker winner for SHS was Brent Ash, Class of 1984 and Tyler Consolidated Chapel Speaker winner was Alexis Billings, Class of 2004. The non-Alumni float winner was Angela Watson’s Face Painting.

Awards reception speaker Coach Mick Price brought the house down with his side-splitting stories. He was rewarded with a standing ovation from the audience. It was a wonderful night for all that attended.

Next year’s 2025 theme was revealed by in-coming President Stephanie Light Riddle and will be Stars & Stripes Forever.
