Crofton High School Senior Rebecca Leader was among 93 valedictorians from the Tri-State area honored at the 40th annual “Best of the Class” program sponsored by KCAU 9 on Thursday, April 27, 2023. KCAU 9 started this program back in 1983 to recognize and encourage academic excellence.
This year’s event was held at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, Iowa. The students were recorded individually and as a group, forming the traditional ‘23. The video footage will be edited into a series of special announcements that will air on KCAU 9 throughout the graduation season. This is a powerful way to provide these honor students with a much-deserved recognition. Following the morning video session, the students were treated to lunch and a program with keynote speaker Dr. Kendra Ericson, President of St. Luke’s College.
KCAU 9 will air these announcements beginning early May 2023 and will be running through the month of June.
