A total of $84,100 worth of community awards were given to Yosemite High School 2001
graduates at a recent awards night presentation held in the school's new multi-purpose
room cafeteria.
Jeanne Ratchford, a YHS counseling technician, was in charge of this year's
program, which was the largest in the school's history.
"The generosity of the people in the Mountain Area is amazing," Mrs. Ratchford said. "We
are so grateful for the support they show our students.
