The 36th Annual Scholars Dinner was held on April 11, 2024, at the Crest Hollow Country Club to honor 91 students from Hicksville High School’s Class of 2024. The graduating seniors distinguished themselves through their academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of their graduating class. Each student received an award, a cord to wear on their graduation gown, and a box containing a beautiful golden apple. In addition, the valedictorian and salutatorian received special awards. It was a beautiful evening, and the dinner was delicious!
The editors learned about The James Thom Thing from a Facebook post with a link to their new Valentine's song, Our Time.
