The PEAR Department is taking this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the seniors on our spring sports teams. While we are sad that we were unable to watch them compete this season, we are excited about what the future holds for each of them.

Quote from Coach Aaron Rushing:
"Keenan is an outstanding athlete who played football for a year as well. He battled injuries throughout his career but battled through and excelled. He had a memorable home run to spur a comeback win over nationally ranked Saint John's in 2019."
