Alternative Education School honors grads

For the Wallowa County
Chieftain
ENTERPRISE — Under
dark skies that threat-
ened rain at any moment,
the Alternative Education
School honored its six 2022
high school graduates in a
ceremony held behind the
Eagle’s View Inn and Suites,
on Thursday June 2.
The graduates received
their diplomas as friends and
family members looked on,
clapped and cheered their
accomplishment.
Members of the Class
of 2022 are Lanie Huwe,
Benjamin Huwe, Levi
Pringle, Harley Lepper,
Gage Coulson and Preston
Aschenbrenner.
“The graduating class of
2022 is truly special,” Alter-
native Education School
Director Maria Weer said.
“Through the pandemic they
showed fl exibility, grit and
perseverance. However, it
is their kindness and com-
passion that stand out. In 21
years of teaching, I do not
remember an entire class
that was so genuine, empa-
thetic and kind. I believe
that they are exactly what
we need in our world today.”
The graduates’ future
plans include college, trade
school and entering the
job force. Each teacher —
Maria Weer, Ron Pickens
and Jeni Greenshields —
personally acknowledged
what they thought was spe-
cial about each graduate.
Lanie Huwe was recog-
nized for her caring nature
and artistic ability; Har-
ley Leppner has a smile
that lights up a room along
with his kindness; Ben
Huwe, has the ability to
tell a good joke to compli-
ment his amazing writing
skills and outgoing nature;
Preston
Aschenbren-
ner can whistle the theme
from Jurassic Park, is self-
less, caring and confi dent;
Gage Coulson is genuine,
kind and has the best col-
lection of ‘70s rock band
T-shirts; and Levi Pringle
is one of the most intelli-
gent students his teachers
have taught.
Just before the cer-
emony ended the skies
released a brief shower,
and the graduates and their
families were greeted with
the universal sign of prom-
ise as a rainbow appeared
on the horizon, above the
Wallowa Mountains.
