Emanon celebrates graduating seniors and more

Cliff Williams / TPI The Emanon Group recently honored 14 recent area graduates and more than two dozen other students for their success in and out the classroom. The group handed out 16 different scholarships to the graduates.

Fourteen recent Elmore County graduates were recognized for their achievements by the Emanon Group.

The group formed 21 years ago to celebrate the efforts of students, teachers and parents. One student recognized was recent Wetumpka High School graduate Lamyah Mitchell who received six of the 16 scholarships awarded during a tea honoring students from across the county. Mitchell plans to use the scholarship funds to attend Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia where she plans to attend nursing school. She was in the medical services program at the Elmore County Technical Center when she discovered the nursing career path was for her.
