Highland - today, we close out our student spotlights with Nicolas Calanni! Nicolas graduated from Highland High School and from the Construction Trades program at Medina County Career Center last week! Through his program, he took full advantage of the opportunity for an apprenticeship in the carpenters' union. As a result of that opportunity, combined with his hard work and dedication to his trade, he has already been hired by Schirmer Construction. We are so proud of you, Nicolas, and wish you the best of everything!

We remember, recognize and honor all who have sacrificed their lives for our nation. May they never be forgotten.
