The Class of 2023 Stands

Class of 2023 passes the torch as they graduate from Questa High School


Questa’s high school graduation was held on May 20 at 10 a.m. Friends and family members filled the mini pit to celebrate the 18 graduates from the class of 2023. This year’s class had two valedictorians, Dawson Breen and Joaquin Hawkes who did a co-speech, citing sharing the title and GPA made it appropriate. Karina Rael was this year’s salutatorian. Principal Kimber MacDonald and the administration happily shook hands with the graduates as they received their diplomas. Living Word Ministries Pastor Peter Martinez was the guest speaker for the commencement ceremony.


“This is your home,” lamented Pastor Martinez. “As you go out into the world to make your own futures, we hope that someday you will return here to be leaders.”
