With all the busy-ness of midterms, spring-break, and Easter holiday, we were lucky enough to get a hold of Sarah Schriner as she returned from a service immersion experience in Nicaragua. She graduated from Bluffton High School in 2014 and shares below what she’s been up to since then.
Where do you attend school now and what are you studying?
Franciscan University, studying social work.
Bluffton middle school student, Courtney McLaughlin, apparently lacks stage fright.
She sang The National Anthem surrounded by over 14,000 persons prior to the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I boys’ state final basketball contest in Columbus on March 19.
The performance was at the Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University.
This wasn’t her first state tourney appearance. She also sang during the Division II semifinals last year. It doesn’t end there.
