It’s been a unique and challenging year for everyone, but as Alexander Gernenz points out, we all have the ability to succeed.
“Success is setting yourself a goal, big or small, and being able to preserver and accomplish it no matter how you get there,” said Gernenz, who is valedictorian of the Coal City High School class of 2021. Salutatorian is Kelly Van Der Karr.
Gernenz earned top academic honors for the class by having a 4.646 grade point average [gpa] over seven semesters of study.
The academic achievement he said, “shows that hard work pays off.”
