The Reed-Custer class of 2023 had an extremely notable year, and with the students having graduated Sunday, they are sure to go on to do incredible things in life. The year was nothing short of impressive.

The academic excellence of the Reed-Custer graduates is clear. To be recognized as a board scholar, a student must have over a 4.0 grade point average, and 22 students were awarded this title. Principal Tim Ricketts said that is the largest number of board scholars in the 14 years of being the principal.

After more than three decades with the Reed-Custer School District, high school principal Tim Ricketts gave his final farewell on Sunday during the 95th Annual Reed-Custer High School Commencement. The 115 graduates of the Class of 2023 walked through the halls for the last time as students on Sunday, May 21.

Ricketts said as he leaves the world of education after 33 years—the past 29 with Reed-Custer—the word to describe his journey is “gratitude,” a quality of being thankful and a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
