As Elizabethtown Area School District (EASD) superintendent Dr. Michele Balliet greeted the audience gathered at LCBC Church in Manheim on May 30 for the Elizabethtown Area High School (EAHS) Class of 2019 commencement ceremony, she shared just a few of the accomplishments of the 283 graduates that could be encapsulated in numbers. Academically, the achievements of the class included having two National Merit Scholarship Program Finalists, three National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalists, five National Merit Scholarship Program Commended Students, and a senior-led Brain Busters team that advanced to the finals for the first time since 2004 - ultimately taking home the silver medal in a “sudden death” round. Four seniors received an FFA Keystone Degree, six seniors
earned awards at the 2019 Science Olympiad, and one senior was named Grand Champion at the North Museum Science and Engineering Fair. Balliet pointed out that in the sphere of the arts, the senior-led cast was influential in helping the EAHS spring musical production of “Seussical, The Musical” to earn three awards at the Hershey Theatre Apollo Awards: Outstanding Dance Number, Outstanding Student Orchestra, and Outstanding Musical. In athletics, Balliet noted that three teams won their Lancaster-Lebanon League section title, eight teams qualified for the PIAA District 3 tournament, and two teams qualified for the PIAA State tournament. The EAHS Class of 2019 also had 19 seniors named to LancasterLebanon League All-Star teams and 19 students who took part in sports recognition days to announce their plans to continue playing sports at the collegiate level.
