Claire Snaza was among the students from across South Dakota recognized as the best and brightest of the Class of 2025. The group was honored during the 35th Annual Academic Excellence Recognition luncheon hosted by Governor Larry Rhoden and the Associated School Boards of South Dakota (ASBSD) on April 28.
Students selected were identified as the top one percent of their senior class in the state’s public, private, and tribal schools. Each honoree received a certificate, a commemorative South Dakota pin, and the opportunity to meet and have their photo taken with the governor.
“Congratulations to all the students here,” Gov. Rhoden told the seniors. “You’ve put in years of effort and your hard work and perseverance are an inspiration to all of us.”
“You’re the best and the brightest. You’re the next generation of leaders in our state.”
ASBSD President Garret Bischoff of Huron echoed the Governor’s sentiment on the students being the next leaders of the state.
“South Dakota needs talented and skilled people like yourselves to share your creative ideas and solutions to continue to push our great state forward,” Bischoff said, adding that today was a special celebration of the students’ academic achievements.
“You have strived to reach your academic heights and we’re thankful for the opportunity to recognize your achievement. Today, we celebrate your well-earned accomplishments.”
