001The other So I Foreign I agree. Hello. Hello. Such a good Yes. Good morning students, staff, and honored guests. It is my privilege to welcome you to this year's senior scholarship recognition ceremony. Today is a celebration of incredible achievements, dedication, and perseverance of the class of 2025. Each of you being honored has demonstrated not only academic excellence, but also leadership, character, and a commitment to growth that set you apart. This morning is about more than dollars and awards. It is about the stories behind the scholarships, the late night studying, the hours spent volunteering, the courage to try something new, the resilience to keep going when things are hard. To our scholarship sponsors, I'd like to welcome you and thank you for your generosity and commitment to our students, our community. To our seniors, this is
002just the beginning. Take the confidence you've built here and let it carry into your next chapter. And students, as always, be sure to thank the parents and those family members and friends who support you along the way. At this time, senior class president, Miss Olivia Thorne, will lead us in our pledge of allegiance. Please rise. I pledge algiance to the flag The United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Now presenting the Zoo Scholarship presented by Shelby Howard. class of 2013 created the scholarship in memory of our friend and classmate Zeus Richards. His name was Zach Richards, but we called him Zeus. He got the nickname in middle school by a football coach. Um, he was the best friend, classmate,
003son, brother to his brother Nick. He got diagnosed with leukemia during our, um, junior going into senior year of high school. He fought his battle hard. He fought the good fight and then he passed away the September following our graduation. He um was an inspiration to all of us. He was a positive spirit. He always had a smile on his face. Such a good friend. Um had the best sense of humor. Always could make you laugh. Um he was a class clown in the appropriate type. Like he would he made everybody in the house laugh. He just was a great friend to have. Um he everybody in the community rallied again or rallied for him. Um even communities beyond Carlile. Um everybody was there for him and he was such an appropriate guy to support.
004Um so with this scholarship we asked the applicants to discuss a time they had they had faced adversity and how they overcame that and how they would help somebody in the same situation if they were in the situation that they have faced and I don't think we could have asked for a more appropriate applicant in a recipient that we chose um he faced a very similar challenge and he fought the good fight like Zach did and he overcame it and then he wrote a book to help people in the same exact situation. Um this year the um sorry the zoo scholarship will go to Matt Harrison. Next we have the Carile Baseball Association Scholarship presented by Luke Lawson. Hello, my name is Luke Foss.

Um, obviously it was called back then if everybody remembers that. And as I look out, I actually see some faces that I sat in. Um, and during that time, you know, sorry, I got off. Congratulations on all the hard work and successes that you brought you to your graduation day. Welcome as for a second time to uh being an alumni of Carile High School. It's a pretty cool thing I will say. Um but I'm here to talk about my dad.
009Uh dad was a teacher here from 1969 to 1995. He taught math and he loved being a teacher. One of the things that he loved most was to see that light bulb moment off any of his students when they got the concept. and he celebrates that every time. Um, he believed in faith, accountability, and what we would call today, I don't know if you would know this term, but showing up and not just showing up in the classroom, you know, that was important. He would give extra points to everybody that had perfect attendance, but in his seat every year, um, but also showing up for While we had several great applications this year, we felt one application stood out as a person that best represented his ideals. So in order to keep it short, I'd
010like to congratulate Cooper and I too congratulate all you seniors for all your hard work. Next up, we have the Moose Lodge scholarship presented by Mr. Turner. Good morning, seniors.

011of people out there and um yeah, so it's nice to see some faces. Um so first congratulations to all of your 2025 seniors out here. For me this year, seeing you guys is a little extra special for me because I have a niece who's graduating from high school. She's not in Coral, but it's just an extra special time for me. Um but anyway, I hope everyone out here had some great memories in your high school journey. It's one time in your life, but do remember you have many, many more journeys in your life to come. As you graduate from high school, whether you go into college, a trade school, maybe you're joining the armed forces, maybe you're just going into work. Whatever you do, take this time and discover yourself. Some of you may know
012exactly who you are, but some of you may also realize that things can change in your lives. So, take it one day at a time and just have fun with it. Have fun with your life. But definitely work hard for what you want. If there's something you want out there, work hard for it. It's also okay to make mistakes. I hope that along your journey, you have learned so far that it's okay to make a mistake. We all make mistakes as we go through our lives and our different journeys. And it's okay. Just continue to keep working towards your goal and what you want. And as um the principal said earlier, please also thank those people along the way who have helped you.

So, my sister Angela Inglere, Angie, as most people knew her, she was a Kio High School senior. She graduated in 1998, and she was in the top five of her class. She was the embodiment of music. She took piano lessons at a young age, and she made the piano look so easy. Her and I would sing harmonize together while we played songs from her favorite
014musical, especially Phantom of the Opera. She had what is a perfect pitch. You could say, "Sing this note and she would be able to sing it." She was blessed with a special talent. She was very involved in school with the choir as well as the marching concert, pep and jazz band. She played saxophone and later on ended up playing the bassoon which she performed at many many concerts at Capitol University where she pursued music education. Not only did she love music but she loved teaching and inspiring kids. She wanted to be a music teacher and spread the love of music to every child that she encountered. Angie did complete some student teaching student teaching while giving her degree and the students and teachers absolutely loved her. She was caring and gentle with the children. Plus,
015the love of music just shined right through her. In November of 2011, Angie was diagnosed with stage four colarctal cancer. She continued to work as much as she could because she did have a very great work ethic as well. Three short years later, a week before Thanksgiving in 2014, Angie did pass away. She passed away peacefully. This scholarship today we present to honor her memory for the music, teaching, and the love that she had for all of the young people. This year's recipient, excuse me, is Cameron Lacy. Next we have the Carile Area Historical Society Scholarship presented by Christy Garrett and Joyce Stewart. Good morning. historical society. Um, we are volunteers and that's the heart of the community. Joyce and I are both Carlile grads. Um, I'll just say that that's we've always sought to
016recognize uh community service and this year we changed our requirements a little bit by requiring service at the museum of the scholarship uh people and uh we did uh have two that applied and and did great service for us there at the museum. um we had a chance to get to know them and and we really appreciate that. Um that being said, we also renamed our scholarship to honor Joyce Win Stewart who is as you know a constant volunteer in this community and she has spent countless hours with us at the historical society preserving Carile history. This year's awards are Cooper and Abby. Next we have Miss French with the kindness matters scholarship. Good morning. Um on the first day of school, students in each class buy a class t-shirt to represent their class pride
017on the first day of school. The money raised from those state t-shirts go into a fund that is then presented as a scholarship. So this year we have $500 that we are giving away um to two people $250 scholarship each um for an essay that they wrote. The prompt says um in detail describe a fellow graduating senior you would like to nominate. This person should exemplify the definition of kindness which is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate toward all. You may share one specific or many examples. And Cooper Sickle, if you want to come up here while I read what you wrote about a fellow classmate, that would be wonderful. So, I'm going to read what Cooper wrote. I would like to nominate Olivia Thorne for this scholarship. After attending school with Olivia
018and even being in the same classes as her since preschool, I can confidently say that there is no student more fit for the Kindness Matters Scholarship. Olivia exemplifies kindness every day to her peers, teachers, and anyone else she comes in contact with. As the president of our class, Olivia has represented our school in a way that shows what a good person she can be. She always comes up with great ideas on how to give back to our community, which sheds kindness on Carlile as a whole. Olivia is the kind face supporting students as they donate blood for the first time. She is the rock that keeps our homecoming festivities from faltering and the glue that keeps our senior class so close. As a friend, Olivia has always been there for me. through every success and
019struggle that I have faced during my time at Carile. Even though her workload is greater than most, she still finds time to be there for me when I need it most. High school does not come without drama and heartbreak. For a short time, I admittedly turned my back on one of my best friends on earth. What then time ended and I needed a friend the most, Olivia was right there with the grace and understanding to help me through a tough time. Without Olivia, school would have been a lot harder than it was. She is one of the smartest people I know as well, and she has never hesitated to help me with sport, even if I accidentally fell asleep during the notes and should have known what was going on. Olivia is a great role
020model to her peers, to the younger generation, and even those older than her can learn a thing or two about how to be a good person. Although we are in the same grade, Olivia is someone who I look up to every day. I have watched Olivia help many others in times of need, so I know that I am not the only person who sees the light that she shines upon this world. Olivia Thorne exemplifies kindness. I can't I cannot think of a person more deserving of this scholarship. I hope that I have given justice to how much Olivia has impacted my life and made me a better person going forward. Congratulations. Next, we have the C scholarship presented by Marilyn Brown and Karen Grooms. Good morning. I'm Marilyn Brown, president of Kawa Educational Recognition Association
021or Cra. And with me is Karen Grooms, our treasurer. This will be our sixth year to award scholarships since reactivating the organization in 2018. It should be our seventh year, but we didn't get to have it in 2020 when the year was sketched forward, but we still kept records. As a lot of you may know, Cra was started about six years ago by a group of community members that wanted to recognize student achievement. Some of you here today may have been members of CRA sometime during those years. We have been able to fund our award ceremonies and award scholarships the last six years through fundraisers that we have had and through donations by individuals and businesses. Feel free to check out our C Facebook page and see all the businesses and individuals that have supported
022us this year. They were listed on the back of our program booklet that we handed out at our awards ceremonies May 6 and 7th. Parents and students, please, please, please support those businesses that want to support your academic achievement. A little over a week ago, we recognized 430 students into CRA. At that time there were 14 people judging the applications that had been turned in for the two scholarships we were offering. To be eligible for a scholarship, a student must be a member of CRA for six years. Applications were given to 43 qualifying seniors and 11 students completed the application and wrote an essay on the topic. How has your Carile school experience influenced your goals for the future? Let me say that we are very proud of of those 11 students that were motivated
023enough to fill out the application and write an essay. You had no idea how much of a scholarship you were applying for because it was not listed on the application, but you accepted the challenge and applied anyway. The judges said that the essays were extremely good this year and they had a difficult time ranking them. The names on the applications were whited out so the People who were judging did so blindly. They voted for whichever application or essay they felt was most deserving for whatever reason they chose. We will be offering two scholarships today. Our fundraisers in addition to the businesses and individuals that have supported us this year have been very very generous. So we have increased the amount of our scholarships this year. The first recipient receiving the second highest score from the
024judges and receiving a scholarship in the amount of $500 is Avery Halcom. Congratulations, Avery. The second recipient receiving the highest score from the judges and receiving a scholarship in the amount of $750 is Ross Campbell. Congratulations, Ross. Again, congratulations to both of our winners and a big thank you to all that applied. Uh we are doing something a little different this year. If you were not a scholarship winner, you have a chance to win four reds tickets. We were not approved to get the tickets in time for our grade level award ceremony. So, we thought we would give them to one of the nine applicants that wasn't a scholarship winner. We will now have that drawing. And the winner is Addison. Let me finish with this. Teachers, you should feel very proud of the job
025you are doing. There were several teachers that were named in the essays, but I would say just about every essay mentioned what great teachers Carlile has and how they have helped them in their journey. So, pat yourself on the back and take pride in the job that you are doing. CRA wants to wants to congratulate all the seniors that will be graduating in a few days. Best of luck as you venture out in the world as a 2025 Carlile High School graduate. Thank you. Next up, we have the Edna Chamberlain and Virgil Davis Awards presented by Miss Allison and Mr. Turner. I'll take that. Um, I just want to add my personal congratulations to the class of 2025. Um, for me it's a privilege to be able to come home and be able to congratulate
026you guys. I know personally I've stood on many sidelines through the years rooting for you and I will continue to root for you in your endeavors and continue to root for Carlileo kids. Um, in 1975, Carl High School established the annual outstanding girl athlete Edna Chamberlain award to be presented to the girl having excelled in athletics and sportsmanship during that school year. Janet Brown, who I believe has grandchildren now in the in the high school, was the first recipient. Uh, Miss Edna attended Coral Schools, graduating with the class of 1900. She then attended Jacob's business college in Dayton, Ohio. Graduated from McFaten College of Physical Culture, Chicago in 1912, and was director of recreation association in Middletown in 1923. In the spring of 1921, she organized and trained the first Carile school athletic team to
027participate in an intercolastic event. She took this group of elementary students to the Warren County track and field meet held at Harman Field, Lebanon, Ohio, where they became the 1921 champions. They started the tradition of excellence in athletics in Carlilele schools which was followed by county track and field champions the following three years and those by many athletic championships in succeeding years. The background makes striving for and winning the Ednik Chamberlain Girls Athletic Award an honor to be most cherished as a highlight of attending Carlile High School. As the 1992 recipient myself, it is my privilege to present Emma Laughlin as this year's recipient. Thank you. Congratulations. Then the Virgil M. Davis Memorial Athletic Award is presented to a worthy senior male athlete from each graduating class on the basis of enthusiasm, sportsmanship, citizenship, and
028scholarship. The award was established by Mrs. Virgil Davis in April of 1964 and this is the 61st year of the annual Virgil Davis Memorial Athletic Award. The family established this award hoping it would encourage every high school boy to strive for greater heights using the pillars of enthusiasm, sportsmanship, citizenship, and scholarship regardless of the obstacles they may encounter. The recipient is chosen by all head uh coaches in the athletic department and is considered one of the most respectable athletic honors. As a 1987 recipient myself, it is with great pleasure I recognize Mr. Blake Lawson. Next up, we have the Valley Real Estate and Church in the Village Family Awards presented by Eric Clarkson. My uh partner, we've been giving this award out for five years and my partner's having some therapy done on his knee.
029So, you guys get to deal with me today. Um I'm gonna I'm g I'm just gonna talk about the extra mile award because we've already presented the staff, but I wanted to publicly recognize those two members of our staff. Um, few school districts, if any, are blessed with the staff as amazing as the teachers, administrators, and support staff at Carile at Cardinal Schools. Many of these staff members go the extra mile every day to ensure that students have the best learning environment possible. Not just those staff members that stay late or come in early, but those that try to find creative ways to reach more students. The incredible staff members in en ensure that students have community in which they feel safe, understood despite what might be happening outside of the walls of Carlile Schools,
030Valley Real Estate and Church in the Village will be presenting two awards and we already have at this time. The first award goes to an individual, an individual that plays a large role in welcoming students and parents to the school each day. She handles a large part of the initial communication between parents and administrators. She is truly what we have in mind when creating this five years ago. That award goes to went to Jabetta Weiss. Craig presented this next award yesterday in Spanish. I will not be doing that today. All right. Our second award winner is a teacher who makes every day in the classroom an immersive and inviting experience. She goes above and beyond to share the passion of teaching Spanish to the students in Carlile. Thank you for going the extra mile. Rachel
031Castro We would like to say thank you to all the staff members here at Carlilele for all that you do and the sacrifice for the sake of our students. Words and certificates cannot express our appreciation for the impact you make in our community every day. Thank you for going the extra mile. Today I also have the uh the honor to recognizing two outstanding students who embody what truly means to go above and beyond. Um the extra mile award is not just about doing what's expected. It's about doing more, giving more, and caring more. Whether it's staying late to help others, leading by example, or setting stepping up when no one else does, these two have shown that excellence isn't just about your talent. It's about effort, heart, and commitment. I also want to clarify that
032that we don't ask for applications. We just ask for suggestions from our staff, from students on who the who these awards go to. And because of those suggestions, your dedication, positivity, and willingness to go the extra mile has inspired your peers and your teachers and this community. You have set a powerful example of what it means to serve with integrity and lead with kindness. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. We are so proud of you for going the extra mile and the family that you have helped provided in this community. The first award goes to the code of France. The second winner is Ethan H. Lastly, as a father of a 2025 graduate, it has been an honor and privilege to watch the 2025 class grow up. Um, I've got three things that I want you
033to always remember as you leave this place and and go to where you're going next. Never forget you're loved. This place loves you more than anything that you'll ever know. Know that you're prayed for, that you will be prayed for. And the third is just keep living your life and live in the moment that God's given you. Thank you. Next, we have Bill Thornton presenting the Jewel Foundation Scholarship. Thank you. I heard a number of people up here talk about the year they graduated or how many years it's been. I had the privilege of going to Woodward High School in Cincinnati, which is the oldest high public high school. Westy Alaganis from the class of 57. You can do your own math. Grading scholarships evaluating is one of the hardest things I ever do. And
034it's not just who gets it. The hard part is who don't you give it to. The Jo Education Foundation was established to recognize seniors in eight schools in Warren County through the generosity of our donors. We're able to award $1,000 in Carlile today to Bailey Strando. Next we have the Orioles Lodge Scholarship presented by Joe Overton. Thank you for the opportunity to be here today. Um, congratulations to the students, um, the staff, fellow presenters. What an awesome experience it is. My name is Joe Overton. Uh, I represent Don Harter and the Franklin Orioles class for 263. In my nearly 40 years of business, I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to hire hundreds of young people. And I hear a lot about young people. And I can tell you that kids these days with an
035exclamation point truly are outstanding. Uh the School of Carile has kids that are so professional, so much class, and so much school spirit. The Orioles were founded in 1910. We amassed nearly 250,000 members at our peak. Most of our uh nests were east of the Mississippi River. Don Harter, my father-in-law, opened the Franklin Nest 263 about years ago. And in his 22 years, Don has been responsible, directly responsible for donating nearly $500,000 to the communities of Carile, Franklin, Middletown, German Town, and Springboro. Last year alone, the Orioles donated over $74,000 to our local communities. Our men and women blue and our first responders. We're very proud of that. Of that 74,000, nearly $20,000 was donated to the Carile track, new track construction. Very proud of that. We look forward to seeing the future Carlilele athletes
036perform on that stage. This year we've expanded our scholarship to $2,000 and we are awarding that scholarship to Bailey Brandle. Bailey's always been special. Uh she's also my granddaughter and u when I asked her grandmother for her hand, I was going to impress Bailey at that time, a youngster. I think she may have been five or six. And I showed her the ring and I said it cost $500. Thinking that that would impress a young child and she looked at me and she said, "Oh, Joe, that's not near enough." So, I knew then that she was a special person. Uh, I'm also I chose the inseat for a reason. Bailey, you forgot your flowers, by the way. That's all right. get those to you because I might need to exit quick because I had to
037end it this way for you. Derek roll tide. Next up, we have the Carl Athletic Booster Scholarship presented by Kelly Milligan and Molly Mintosh. Good morning.

Each year, the Athletic Boosters have the pleasure of being able to award two scholarships to one and one female student athlete for their achievement in athletics, academics, sportsmanship, positive character, as well as community volunteer work. You know, we're always looking for volunteers. This year, we are excited to be able to award two $500 scholarships. This decision is based on the points system for each area. This year, we would like to
038congratulate two winners, Bailey and Cooper. Next we have the new core scholarship presented by Shawn Murphy. Good morning.

It was created to honor academic excellence and encourage Ohio's top graduates to stay in state for their education and future careers.

Parents, you should be very proud of your children because they certainly have made this person feel very welcome from all of the chiefs to the other comments. Hey dudes, hey, how are you throughout the course of this year, but you guys are to be commended. I'm actually going to recognize two people. The first one will be the Franklin B. Walters. And if you could just stand, Mr. Ross Ross was actually recognized back in April as the Carile recipient for the Franklin B. Walter. So, congratulations to Ross. Next, I'm also going to be recognizing uh the Carile Employees Scholarship. Each
041year, Carlile staff members come together to support our students, not just in the classroom, but also through generous contributions to the Carile employee scholarship fund. Applicants were asked to share their plans for the next five years and to reflect on the teachers or staff who have influenced them most. Thanks to the continued generosity of our staff, we are proud to award three $500 scholarships to the following students and their names are called if they would come up. First is Ross Campbell. Next is uh Brayley, sorry, Bailey Brandle. And our final recipient is Cooper Stickle. A round of applause for all three. Next we have the Jackie Boy Memorial Scholarship presented by Mr. Hammock. Jackie Boy was an educational aid at Kai local schools where she assisted students with special needs. She passed away unexpectedly on
042June 29th, 2010 after nine years of service here at Carile High School. Jackie was an avid supporter of the arts in our schools and she always encouraged students to participate in our arts programs. She knew how transformative the self-exression, empathy, and community cultivated in the arts can be in a young person's life. She's left behind a legacy of love, dedication, and connection, specifically in the fine arts. and it's an honor to continue her legacy with the Jackie Boyd Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship selection committee is comprised of Parl High School alumni that participated in theater, choir, band, and visual art. Each year, our committee selects a graduating senior who has been heavily involved in the fine arts and who best embodies the principles that Jackie stood for. It is with great pride that I present the
0432025 Jackie Boy Memorial Scholarship to Matthew Harrison. Now we have The car band booster scholarship presented by Mr. Oliver. We're uh saving the best for last.
