Valedictorians or top graduating seniors were once again honored by KWWL Television and the University of Northern Iowa on Saturday, April 30. The students took part in KWWL’s 32nd annual “Best of the Class” celebration.

Aubri Mossman, daughter of Suzette and Keith Miller of Dysart and David Mossman of Liscomb, was named “Best of the Class” and will graduate as Union High School’s 2016 Valedictorian.

Best of the Class students were videotaped on the UNI campus for a series of public service announcements, which can be found on KWWL.com. They also had the opportunity to be photographed with KWWL news anchors Ron Steele and Amanda Goodman, Chief Meteorologist Mark Schnackenberg, and Sports Director Rick Coleman. KWWL Vice President and General Manager, Jim McKernan, noted “KWWL is proud to be associated with an event that shines a light on these outstanding students, their families, and schools.”

In its 32 years of recognizing academic excellence, KWWL’s Best of the Class has honored over forty-one hundred top graduating seniors. Best of the Class is a joint public service/community relations effort that encourages academic excellence among high school students by honoring students who serve as role models in their communities.
