McCarty graduation
With the fury of a storm all around and sitting in partial darkness due to a power failure, the Class of 1996 from Staunton River High School graduated Saturday night, June 8th at Liberty University. Among the class of graduating seniors, there is one who rises above the crowd in the eyes of all who know her, Stephanie Dawn McCarty. Stephanie attended the Governor's School in Roanoke City, as well as S.R.H.S., and was captain of the basketball team, volleyball team, and track. She was also a member of the National Honor Society and Student Government. In addition to all her school activities, Stephanie was an active member in her church's youth group, earning various awards in the AWANA program. Due to all her hard work, dedication, and determination to excel in all she does, Stephanie received numerous honors including Scholar Athlete of Bedford County, Athlete of the Year for S.R.H.S., and a Perfect Attendance Award for 8 straight years. She graduated number one in her class with a 4.202 G.P.A. after final grades.
