Stacey Borgman graduated first in her class from Jac-Cen-Del High School on Saturday, May 28 with an 11.09 GPA. During her commencement speech she talked to her fellow classmates about where they had come from, and where they are headed in the coming years.

During her time spent at Jac-Cen-Del she served as the Student Council President, and she was vice-president of the senior class. Borgman was also a member of the Sunshine Society, the National Honor Society, and the Spanish Club. She was a member of the golf team during her sophomore year.

During the school year she worked at the Red Barn Restaurant in Osgood. This summer she is planning to work at Dr. Wade's Opthamology Office in Batesville.

As a senior, she received the honor of being named the DAR Good Citizen. Borgman was also awarded the Hoosier Scholar Award for $500.

In the fall Borgman will be attending Indiana University to major in apparel merchandising. She hopes to one day work for a large department store like Macy's or Bloomingdales in a big city.

Borgman is the daughter of Paul and Donna Borgman. She has three older brothers, Adam, Kurt, and Josh. Her mother works at the same eye doctor's office in Batesville that she will be working at, and her father is a logger.

When looking back on her high school years, she would like to thank Mr. Westerman and Mr. Ruble because, "they have always been there
for me; in math class and in student council." The highlight of her senior year was working on the senior float during the fall.

Her advice to younger students is, "Always be yourself. Never let anybody pressure you in to anything."

While at Jac-Cen-Del she was inducted into the National Honor Society, she was a member of the Spanish Club, the Sunshine Society, and the Student Council. She received awards for the Best Math Student two years in a row, and she has also received awards for having all A's in five subjects every year. She graduated with a GPA of 10.92.

Outside of school, Schneider attends the Osgood First Baptist Church, and is a member of the American Baptist Youth group. She has also occupied her time by working at the Red Barn Restaurant in Osgood for two years.

Schneider will take classes at Columbus Regional Hospital. She will study to become an x-ray technician in a two-year program. After completing that program she will continue taking classes at the hospital until she reaches her ultimate goal of becoming an ultrasound technician.

Schneider is the daughter of Ralph and Pat Schneider. She has two older sisters, Amy and Jessica. Jessica is presently attending Northern Kentucky University. Her parents own Schneider's Scrap Metal in Osgood.

When asked what she will miss about Jac-Cen-Del, she said, "I will miss seeing my friends every day at school." She said she got much closer with all of her friends during her senior year. Her advice to younger students is, "Work hard and don't get distracted by things that aren't important."
