Recently, Sumter School District's three valedictorians spoke with The Sumter Item about their approach to education, non-academic interests and their future.

Emma Ketchum is the valedictorian for Crestwood High School and a Dual Enrollment student at Central Carolina. Dual Enrollment is a program in which students earn college credits while still in high school and Emma will have 32 general education credit hours already completed when she enters college. She plans to attend Columbia College in Columbia and major in speech language pathology.

Way to go Emma!
