PRINGLE — West Side Career and Technology Center celebrated its 56th commencement ceremony on the front lawn Tuesday as administrators, teachers, friends and family bid farewell to the Class of 2024.

Class president Evander Brown and valedictorian Michael Carpenter gave the welcome and farewell addresses, respectively, while West Side CTC alumni and Forty-Fort Police Chief Daniel Hunsinger served as the commencement speaker.

In addition to honoring 63 graduates with diplomas, West Side CTC also gave out several academic excellence and vocational-technical proficiency awards, celebrating students’ achievements in areas such as English language arts, carpentry, science and early childhood education.
