The Raikes School’s 28 members of cohort 2016 who graduated in May had a unique ending to their college career. Their Raikes School experience was capped off with a virtual Senior Celebration on Friday, May 8. Karl Shaffer was awarded the Golden Keyboard and the gavel was passed from Allison Inman in Cohort 2016 to Luke Bogus in Cohort 2017. We hope you kept up with each senior’s spotlight shared on the Raikes School’s social media accounts, @RaikesSchool on Instagram and Twitter, and /RaikesSchool on Facebook. This cohort described themselves as a family, forming close bonds with each other and sharing a legacy of leadership and service within our community. We wish them well in their adventures ahead and know they will be back to visit often!
