quires a unique recognition
for the graduating high
school class.
The Madras High
School Class of 2020 will
be celebrated by our com-
munities with personalized
banners—one for each
graduating student—to
adorn the Madras street
light poles.
Approximately 180 stu-
dents will be graduating next
month from Madras High
School, and the Bridges
High School.
The graduates recogni-
tion is a coordinated effort
between the school district,
high school, Bridges High
School, the city, and Rip Q
Signs and Graphics.
“We are so proud of the
class of 2020,” said Madras
High School principal Brian
Crook.
“We are so grateful for
these amazing students and
their high level of integrity
and class during these chal-
lenging times.”
Rip Q Signs and Graph-
ics produced the banners
for the high school, and
donated a portion of the
project cost to the cause.
“I love helping out our
students. I wish I could do
more,” said Brandon
Searcy, Rip Q Signs and
Graphics owners.
“These are hard times
for everyone, and hope-
fully this will help boost
morale amongst the kids
and our community.”
Staff will be putting the
banners up on Monday,
May 25. “Our crews are
happy to be involved in a
feel-good project for our
graduating seniors,” said
Rick Rohach, operations
manager at City of Ma-
dras.
School principal Crook
added, “These banners are
a token of our apprecia-
tion of the senior class at
Madras High School that
make us all proud to be
White Buffalos.”
