In an era filled with uncertainty and challenges, celebrating milestones takes on a special significance. High school graduation is one such momentous occasion, marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. Recognizing this achievement, KSOM, KS95.7, and Westerniowatoday.com have come together to create the Senior Salute, a platform dedicated to honoring graduating seniors in Western Iowa.
The Senior Salute feature serves as a spotlight on the accomplishments of graduating seniors, showcasing their academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and future aspirations. It provides a platform for communities to come together and celebrate the bright futures of these young individuals.
The process is simple yet impactful. Graduates and families of graduates can submit profiles of graduating seniors along with their photos to be featured on the Senior Salute platform. These profiles often highlight not just academic achievements but also personal stories, aspirations, and the positive impact students have had on their communities.
To submit a profile, just click on the submission link which is here, and fill out the information. You will be required to submit a photo as well – please make sure that it is a photo you have the right to reproduce (either a license from a professional photographer or a photo taken by you). We will collect the entries starting now and will begin to showcase them on May 1st and throughout graduation month.
